“ There is [a] clear appeal for music bloggers, who have been at the sharp end of some of the music industry’s dysfunctional ways in recent years – fielding takedown requests from a label’s legal team for tracks posted at the explicit request of its marketing team, for example. ”

“ Jon seems aggrieved that he received £8 for 90,000 Spotify plays. However his mistake is to compare a Spotify play against a Radio 1 play. Radio 1 has approx 11,000,000 listeners so if you do the maths that’s 0.0000045p per listener. Spotify pays 0.000088p per stream (listener) according to Jon’s own figures above. So by Jon’s own maths, Spotify pays more. ”
