Justice at Spotify
So I wanted to try put this into perspective since "a penny per stream" is intentionally meant to sound insignificant.<p>This seems like it would roughly double Spotify's costs: <a href="https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/apps/how-much-does-spotify-pay-per-stream-comparing-spotify-with-other-streaming-services.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/apps/how-much-...</a><p>And Spotify is already paying out 75% of it's revenue to royalty holders: <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/spotify-profitable-how-happen-910456/" rel="nofollow">https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/spotify-pr...</a><p>So unless you believe that Spotify is bad at business and there's an extra ~75% of revenue Spotify could pull out of a hat, this is basically impossible to satisfy without cratering the total revenue by doubling prices, which is probably not in artist's interests.
