Music streaming services like Spotify (etc.) have possibly
been the best almost-solution to the problem of music piracy. Still, you will
hardly ever hear an argument that it’s a ‘perfect’ solution. While it’s good for
the fans, the company itself and the major record label, it’s not so great for
musicians below the top couple rungs on the ladder. It does offer artist a
better opportunities for exposure than the industry has ever had, literally.
But in terms of financial compensation, many musicians are still stuck behind
the 7-11 counter waiting for people to stumble on their songs. The day when artists are ‘fairly’ compensated
(whatever that comes to mean) for participating in services like this is
probably still a long way off, but in the meantime there are a number of things
that can be done to further benefit the artist, and some already are. Click on
