Whats to figure out? Getting paid 2 cents per song is messed up.

Its all there is to it.

Buy albums you like/Support artist you like properly (merch/hard copies/concerts)
If you hate an artist just steal from em,stream and disregard them completely cause fk em.

2 cents would be a lot better. I think Spotify pays like 0.007 cents per stream.

Edit: see below, I was wrong and it is $0.007ish

I'm totally with you on supporting the artists but I stream to determine if I like an album or if I'm not at home to listen to my records. I think your stance is a little bit ambiguous on that to me on whether I'm still stealing if I stream when I've already bought the album, or if it is out of print or really expensive.

But getting paid zero cents per song for uncleared samples isnt messed up?

Also the artists are getting more money in the end if you buy their merch and stream their songs. They arent even getting the fraction of a penny per song when you spin a record or play a CD. Not saying artists arent getting ripped off from streaming, just to call it theft is laughable imo.

Haha yeah.

I say 2 cents cause people will probably play a song more then once.

I dont even know how we even got to this point tbh just insane. Alot of the artist I listen to have went into detail about how much it steals from them/takes from them I just dont understand why so many people after seeing that still think its great to go take bread from some musicians kids.

I feel it was the big corps way of trying to find middle ground for piracy or something.

If a child draws bugs bunny or some cartoon should the child be forced to pay some kind of fee or perhaps charged with some kinda crime?

If art is used/reused in a non commercial way then its fine. It only becomes theft if you make money of someone elses work.

Should still be credited tho whever possible so the non commerical music can still act as a promotional tool for all artist involved.

Im not a girl scout so when I talk about all this streaming stuff I am mostly only thinking off underground artist who can barely afford to eat without music and use music as way to try make a living.

Like I said earlier I give no shits about rihanna or [insert generic mainstream artist here] makes another million.

All about the struggling/independent artist.

It takes 286 plays at 0.007 cents per play to hit 2 cents. o_O

Edit:OOPS! My bad, I'm an idiot. It is $0.007 not cents. So only 3 plays for 2 cents. Raking in the cash.
