[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -4 points 4 months ago (2 children) I don't know if it's stealing but I feel better knowing when I listen to music artists get paid As someone else pointed out: Today, Spotify accounts for roughly 30% of recorded music revenue. That's a lot of artists making music we enjoy who are able to eat at night permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 7 points 4 months ago Theres also a lot of aritists having their media streamed by these companies who get absolutely zero because they're being robbed by Spotify and the industry at large Just because Taylor Swift gets her cut doesn't mean its just and fair. Infact, I'd say thats just concentrating wealth in the hands of power again.. So.. uhh.. I'mma keep "stealing" it and buying band merch instead. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 3 points 4 months ago (1 child) And before Spotify, artists were able to make more money with physical media, that the customers owned for life. Spotify essentially made the situation worse for both the artist and the consumer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -1 points 4 months ago Damn your memory really goes like this People going down to the record store to buy CD's Spotify :D You really missed out a whole decade of music piracy and CD sales falling through the floor permalink fedilink source parent
