The way musicians are compensated is highly unfair. A new bill in the US Congress could fix that – and it’s about time

    I think the latest issue now is how Spotify for example is changing their revenue sharing model in a way that big artists (i.e. Taylor Swift) get a bigger chunk from the pie and smaller artists get close to nothing in % from streaming income. So the value of a single stream for a song is different depending on who you’re listening to.

      What change is this in reference to? I’m not familiar with it.

        This article can probably explain it better than I can: https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2024/01/06/spotify-royalty-model-ramifications/
