Spotify will end service in Uruguay due to bill requiring fair pay for artists
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Anything but fair compensation.
The problem isn't the streaming platforms (unless you want to pay more for your streaming service), but the record labels. Spotify never made profit.
Music used to be more valuable because it was more scarce and more difficult to deliver. Now anybody can make a song and put it on the internet. The value has gone down and artists/labels need to recognize that or people aren't gonna pay them at all.
I dunno, ifnthat is true it seems more than fair compensation.
Fair compensation for who? Record labels who already rake in tons of money, or small artists that now need 1000 streams a year at minimum to get paid at all on a specific track?
You do know why bands and artists sell merch at venues, right?
The contracts they’ve signed may entitle them to little or nothing of ticket sales.
