IMO, streaming in its infancy represented a way to reverse the greedy music biz, and all its practices- taking things back in the artists hands. Instead we let them do it all again, but even worse. I still believe there’s a way, but musicians and fans must unite behind a change
“How about a little outrage, music fans? We need your help, because we artists and labels at the low end of the scale have absolutely no negotiating power with Spotify, which dominates music streaming in much the same way that Amazon dominates online retail.”
