Tidal loses Prince catalog exclusivity UPDATE: On Spotify Now!!

[Ol’Otis]

Prince was an idiot with his music

 

[lutha]

why are cats celebrating this?...this is fukked up....this goes against what prince wanted and the main ones that's gonna benefit off this are the record & streaming companies, not his family....from past articles, you can tell the fam pushed for this cause the lawyers/friends of said companies got in the fam's ear telling them how they were missing out on so much money, how this is for the best, etc....when that check aint as big as they think it's gonna cause of what the lawyers said and they ask 'why it's not', they better not bytch/complain when they get that 'business reasons' answer....

 

[Renegade47]

And you decided to double down and say some more stupid shyt ......

Michael Jackson was in debt when he died, Prince wasnt

what does that tell you idiot?


An idiot like you will always be a straw man because you dont understand the concept of ownership

why the fukk should someone make more money off my creation than me?

but nah , idiots like you as long as you get a check you dont care do you?

talk to em.

 

[CrimsonTider]

why are cats celebrating this?

because we are consumers

 

[@OffHalsted]

A clear cdq version of "large room wit no light" please

 

[lutha]

because we are consumers

that doesnt make sense cause it's not like his music isnt available without this deal...

Not available on the mediums where I consume music

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Aloe Black got streamed 168 million times and only made $12,000 ....... FACTS

But I guess in your way of thinking thats a WIN right?



you know nothing about business.

the aloe blacc number was for his share of the songwriter royalties from pandora only. not the master recording and not from streaming services. pandora pays royalties as if it's a radio station which is why you can't play songs on demand and there's a skip limit. people use that example without knowing/telling the whole story

Not available on the mediums where I consume music

so you only consume music by streaming from one of the services without prince's music?....lol ok...in your case, you have reason to celebrate...

Believe everything they tell you brehs

Prince music is available on Spotify today

 

[Rell Lauren]

His family ain't shyt. That's my two cents.

 

[swerve]

As a consumer and user of Spotify this is good news

We don't need more services to pay for just to listen to music

If something's not on Spotify I check YouTube and if it's not there I probably gonna listen to something that is.

Not gonna pay for Tidal to make a few artists richer than they are
