I shell out 12*11 dollars for Spotify + maybe a consert bi-monthly (6*30), and a major festival ticket a year (200).
If the music industry can't make that work for the artists I'm listening to I really don't see why I should feel bad for it. It's the labels that are the problem, always will be.
Precisely, it's the labels. Creating a new streaming service with a 5% higher royalty rate will not solve the problem. If Jay-Z really wanted to solve the problem, his music label should lead by example and change the royalty structure for artists. This is just a cash grab and I cringe when Jay Z says it's about the artists, because it's not.
Second problem, is that it's too easy to get free music (not talking about Spotify), but that's an issue I think Spotify is handling well.
