It's a tricky one. For consumers, #music streaming is a game changer. I mean, why should I ever need to *buy* a song or album again when my entire household can listen ad-free to every song ever released (plus podcasts and audiobooks), for a mere R99.99 a month?
Unfortunately, it's a game changer for #artisits, too, because they get paid a pittance. Less than $0.01 per stream, and sometimes nothing at all, depending on the circumstances.
There needs to be a shakeup. Something like what happened with Smashwords and Amazon et. al. for ebook royalties. Artists should be fairly compensated... preferably without making me pay significantly more for my favourite music #streaming service. :P
