I heard something in the news recently about an artist only recieving something lke £100 for 100k plays of their song on Spotify. Can’t remember the exact figures but it was something like that, seems a shame really, although I do have a lot of respect for Daniel Ek, to have created a multi million dollar company at such a young age.

Additionally, free model doesn’t have chance to be compensated with ads. Thats also old story. Average music download costs around one USD. There is no chance any advertiser will pay a dollar per listened music piece.

Do all all those investors have calculator?

Jeez, what pumping PR some of those startups generate. But where is essence? There is no essence. Spotify stream music for a monthly payment. Decade old idea. Broken one. Youngster don’t pay for anything.

So investors R.I.P.

Let people decide who has talent, not the majors. Get a fair price per song and give a fair share to the artist, instead of 0,0001%. People are able to detect talent perfectly by themselves. They don’t need a big guy to tell them what they shoul like.

The artists have made so little money on their records for the past…100 years, that they really think it is normal, that you can only make money on concerts and merchandising. But where do you think the industry is making their billions? The songs are supposed to be AVAILABLE, all of them, and FOR MONEY, even if it is less than today. But eat as much as you want for 9,99 is a horrid and vile idea. Weare talking culture here, not fast-food.

There are not that many IPhones or Android phones around. But there is a ****-load of Nokia music phones. When that app is out in the market things will start to happen. Although still no money for the artists. But who cares? I do.

Piracy is a reaction from users not being able to access content, even for cash. Remember that file sharing is dealing with over 1,4 billion songs, while hardly more than 7 million are accessible digitally in a legal form. That means 99,5% of all music is unavailable digitally unless you are willing to “pirate”. Spotify on the contrary makes piracy legal, and will really stop all CD sales the day users stop wanting to “own” the music (for those who think they “own” the music in their CD).

I think it is ok to be positive. But just for fun, take a look at Larry Lessig’s book “Free Culture”. The guy is the most competent copyright lawyer on the web, and he does not agree with the big media. Actually his book has a sub-title saying: “How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity”.

Spotify could actually do much more damage to the artist than piracy. Very few artist have the courage to tell the truth about this issue. And ALL major record companies screw the artists, ALL the artists. You might just as well say: “How come she keeps singing when she knows that. She should just shut up and get a job in a bank.” Wrong approach. Actually Daniel Ek “forgot” to answer one question which was asked during the conferance: “how much does the artist make on Spotify”. That is quite interesting in the perspective of what he says several times under the interview: “contrary to piracy, the artist is actually making money out of Spotify”. Well my musician friends do not agree with that, and neither does Lilly Allen. For more of what the artists actually mean about the music industry (Spotify’s big friends and investors) read “Courtney Does the math”.

I have been using Spotify for some months now and it works fine for me. And no, it is by no means comparable to Pandora (which I was also using until it became US only…). Spotify is simple, fast and FREE. Suits my background music needs perfectly. UI is almost identical to iTunes, only that I don’t need to store files on my computer. Find music you like, drag and drop playlist creation etc. Lovely!
I would say, what Napster was for P2P, Spotify is for the next gen music service.
