The music community is abuzz with the latest news from Spotify, announcing a subscription hike and the accompanying addition of audiobooks as a Premium membership feature. While you may think that a membership rate hike would mean more pay for artists, that is not the case. They’re restructuring royalty payments in a way that will vastly reduce royalties earned by US songwriters and publishers. Learn more in this blog.
This new development from the massively popular mainstream platform has come at a shock to the industry, whose creators are already earning only a fraction of what they deserve. This is why it’s so important to create a new haven for these musicians, allowing them to earn fairly while maintaining control over their content.
