it is unsustainable, in the same way that allowing music piracy is an unsustainable policy for the survival of the business.
simple economics show that if someone can stream a song 1m times and make less than $200 dollars the model doesn't work. period. |
I find it a little ironic then, that in an article you linked to yourself, it appears to show it is working just fine. Except apparently more in the record companies favour, than the artists.
Doesn't that suggest that a large proportion of the blame then lay with the greedy record companies? Spotify is merely the scapegoat for the whole deal, no?
Still, I don't see how Piracy is in any way better than what Spotify is doing.
