False. The notion that Spotify just doesn't pay very much to artists is simply unfounded. The figure's close to 70% of their revenue.

- batiudrami 14y agoNo, they don't pay very much. The problem is, the revenue isn't very much either (and they're unprofitable). I don't think they're doing a MegaUpload and making millions off other people's content, but compared to CD sales, artists are being undercompensated. My entire post was my thoughts on how to improve that.
