teenagechrist 2,853 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 They are the ones to lose. Spotify needs artists, artists don't need Spotify. The music industry worked perfectly before them, so if I was them I'd stop with all the childish bs. feeling so hot tamale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

venusfly 17,879 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Good for Spotify, any push to end exclusives should be welcomed. All they do is harm the consumer and line the pockets of the singer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only fair that the artists make the right %, even if they're millionaires a la Gaga and Swift. It's their and their label's work, after all. AM gives them a fair cut, but they need exclusivas to attract new subscribers and keep the money flowing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's going to make it hard for Spotify to follow. http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/15/12203906/apple-music-spotify-streaming-songwriting-royalty-rates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they offer better music quality and royalties to the artists. So it's pretty fair if you ask me. Still not getting it tho lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotify is trying to make it so they pay less but labels are using Apple as a leverage to make them pay more.  http://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-contract-three-major-labels-wants-pay-less/  so so if they don't decide by the time lg5 is out it would be Spotify problem for not wanting to pay more since UMG is one of the contract that needs to be renewed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
