I imagine record labels make deals where they make a pretty good share but the artist still gets **** all but it's speculation
That would be why major artists are pulling out of the deals

I'd bet most would stay on Spotify if they got absolutely nothing from the streams.

Hmhmm. Because with the amount of music out there, you'll need to be known at all before you can see support. And Spotify helps people get to know you exist and check if you're worth supporting.

Like I said, there's potential in streaming but I think it's being wasted

More profitable in terms of pay per play, but probably not in terms of exposure and ticket sales. Depends on how well you get your music known.

Today I got annoyed the most famous frodus album was n't on spotify. So I just went to shelby cincas bandcamp. And there it was for free download. See? It's not the guy behind the music who thought it shouldn't be on Spotify.

The extra click can suck my dick.

Get it on Spotify. No excuses.

I googled boycotting bands not on Spotify and all I got was **** about bands boycotting Spotify. **** those bands. Spotify is the medium. Get on it or get ****ed. I'm not boycotting Spotify I'm boycotting you. I don't care if it's LEO Records, Matador, THE Unsane. Negativland for not having Escape from Noise or whoever. Spotify or lick my asscrack bitches.

Entitled much bitch?

I guess he knows, but caring is another thing.

Exo, I'll do that (download Spotify again and see if it works this time) just to see. I'll let you know. I know you don't care, but I'm going to keep you updated anyway. Heh.

**** my rule. I'll listen to what they put on there. But if Frownland or you say oh you gotta hear this special one and it's not on there I might pull the trigger. I decide, bitch.
