The Star reached out to four Canadian musicians to weigh in on the Young-Rogan-Spotify battle and to comment on the current state of music streaming.
The portal claims that Spotify generates more money for rights holders than any other streaming service. Last year, Spotify launched Loud & Clear, a web portal that presents data on how Spotify streams are determined and paid out. The Union of Musicians and Allied Workers, which represents thousands of music workers fighting for a fairer music industry, applauded Young’s decision to pull his music, and released a list of demands for Spotify, including demands to pay artists at least one cent per stream, to adopt a user-centric payment model, to make all closed-door contracts public and more. The outrage comes also in reaction to the $100 million Spotify dished out for exclusive rights to the massively popular “Joe Rogan Experience,” while refusing to adjust its payment scale for musicians.
