Paul,
Have you lost your mind? First you write a blog warning fans not to put the Spotify App on their band sites.
Now, you are posting a playlist that requires you to join Spotify to hear the playlist.
I'm confused.........

REVENUE
2008: $0.6 mil
2009: $18 mil
2010: $99 mil
2011: $236 mil
2012: $889 mil (projected)
And Spotify pays around 65-70% of its revenue as royalties.
I guess Spotify is bad because it doesn't pay enough royalties (should be 80% royalties or higher)
I guess Spotify is bad because it has never made a profit.

Would love to see that impressive pay out distribution per song to major label acts vs independents.

Incorrect,
Spotify pays the labels, and they do whatever they want with the money

Same old Spotify; conveniently leaving out the pertinent details on their financial disclosures.
The real question is the equity deals with the content owners, the major labels. Okay got that, same answer, its' up to the labels to decide how those monies are distributed.....
80% of nothing is nothing.......

No David lowery music was used to make this playlist. It would have been a great use of his song, "I Hate My Generation". Hmmm...

But wouldn't it have to be, "I Hate Your Generation" instead?
