Modern streaming has been built around subverting paying artists their proper earnings, and a big offender is Spotify. Don’t get me wrong, I love and use Spotify all the time but holy stuff they really forgeted up. They pay their artists something like zeroes on the penny per stream, meaning that the only people really making money are the ones getting millions of streams per day. I think the attitude that listeners would be losing routes to listen to their music is a little BS. I’ve certainly fallen prey to it by not doing so and just streaming the music, but you should be BUYING and SUPPORTING the artists you listen to. It’s one of the reasons I still buy physical CD’s. There have been royalty laws for everything BUT the internet for DECADES, which is the reason why streaming is the way it is. This bill is exactly what’s needed to finally put artist wages back on track.
