Apple Music claims they want to fix the royality rates to 9.1. cents per 100 plays

[tuckgod]

Apple makes a million dollars, the artist makes $910, seems fair

They get a dollar a play?

 

[Harry B]

wait a minute 9.1 cents on a hundred plays = 910 dollars on a million plays?????

What kind of robbery is this?

that's like 100k streams on an album.
But still, the Royalties is just a small portion of the total payout, the real payout is like 3-4 times more.

I've been reading about this streaming business all day.
They pay 71.5 %+ of the revenue to the owners of the song per market and of that Apple proposes a fixed 9.1 cents/100 plays to the song writers. This shyt affects Spotify's free streaming option and also the major labels, management and publishers finessing song writers.

Man I don't see how the fukk they're gonna get the whole industry to shape to that standard

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

Here they go trying to justify their theft of publishing and ad revenue.
While also creating a fukk'n monopoly damn near of the commerce of music.

We got a black president who won't even step in a protect the few things they let black people do in this country.

fukk America.

It been established and a fukk'n fact the unemployment number only covers blocks of small months at a time for people who applied for benefits and the system does not track people outside of that.
Where were you when people said the unemployment rate for blacks was six times on average what the rate was.
It was one of the reason the country and the black community went Into the spiraling descent during the great recession and the numbers were not and still not properly tracked.



Just stop it,....you don't know what the fukk in full you talembout.

If you've taken some basic course in economics or some other social science you would probably know what labor participation means.
Labor participation is the fraction of the working age population that is currently employed or searching for a job divided by the total population.

For the US this number is about 62 %, for AA this number is about 61 %. Most western nations are around 60 (Germany) to 70 (probably like Switzerland). So a 1 percentage point difference between us and the national average, and even higher than Germany EUs strongest economy.

Unemployment rate is calculated from that 62 %, our rate is about 9 % and white people about 5 %.

And it obviously counts small periods of times, how the hell would you otherwise check it?


This is how we have and will always calculate unemployment rates.


That was not the funny part about your comment though, the part about rap being one of FEW careers for black people is. There's black people everywhere, underrepresented but present and certainly available (minus shyt too many people want to do, work in the music business).

Unless you've written papers in labor economics, I suggest you shut the fukk up.

So this is better than no? Considering an album had 15 songs or so. 7 people streamin the album would get ya 9 cents. Which theybwill moat likely stream the album way more than once.

Verses a one time profit of 70 cents for 7 people buyin the album.

It's good either way because of the era we are in.

Let's say there was no such thing as streaming... All those people are not buying your album. That's the whole point of streaming. You pay a cheap price, equivalent to 1-2 albums, and you get every album ever.

If you took that away, people are going to go buy every album ever. The industry isn't even sure they'd BUY a steady 1 album a month. They damn sure wouldn't be buying 1 billion drake songs or 500 million or even 5 million.


So it's either the pennies from streaming or the zero from illegal downloading or less pennies from the small percentage who would still buy your album




Streaming is better because with everyone getting your music for the low or free price. That gives them more access to your stuff, all your stuff, and more money to spend on seeing your shows..... Which you make way more money off


Example to keep using drake. I'd never buy his new album. But since I can stream it free, I'll listen to it. Now I listen to it and I like it. So now I'll pay 150 to see him when he comes to town and might even buy that album I liked or maybe the next one or past ones.

That's better than radio plays...

Wow!!!!!

Be an upcoming artist incur massive debts (cost of putting the music together, equipment, image, self promotion, TIME) to HOPE to blow up and get a song that streams 1MM times, when you could have made more moving boxes for 3 weeks in a factory

Apple and Spotify must be making so much goddamn money

the thing is these labels want to make everyone think that companies like Spotify and Apple are the bad guys when in reality they are NOT.
they are taking the same piece of the pie that regular record stores(retail) would take.
this isn't different.

These labels got everyone fooled to think that they themselves aren't the ones making large amounts of money and robbing the artists.

did anyone say shyt to walmart or target or fatbeats or any other retial store when they took their 30-40% cut off the top from selling the Cd or record?

how is it any different if Spotify or Apple do it?


these labels got ppl fooled.

 

[Maschine_Man]

No joke a temp worker at the factory I work in could come in, no experience, just to move boxes or put shyt in boxes. Get $10/hr at 40hrs +5 OT a week and make more than that (gross) in 3 weeks.

That's a god damn shame. I never looked at it that way. *realizes I'm probably doing better financially than most of these new age artists*

Never expected that

yea but they can also take that one hit and sell out shows and TV appearances. Sell features, etc. to make a hell of a lot more money.
Desiigner has only recorded like 2 songs in his whole life and he's probably a millionaire by now.
