According to the 2014 accounts the employees earn a little less than €100,000 each, on average. So there&#x27;s a huge wage bill.<p>I have no idea what they do either. Legal compliance - DMCAs, and avoiding DMCAs - seems to be a big problem. But I don&#x27;t understand why they need 300 people to work on that.<p>if they raised $77m last year that gives them another year or two of runway. But given the continuing losses the current business model doesn&#x27;t seem to be working, and the burn rate is too high for long term survival without real income growth.<p>As a user, I love finding music on SC. But I worry they&#x27;ll try to make the site yet another pay-to-play streaming service, which will kill most of the interest.<p>Becoming a sales site seems like a better move. IMO there&#x27;s a big niche for a Bandcamp-but-better site just waiting to be filled.
