I've seen the testimonials as well but I don't think they are a good guiding post as to where the market should be. Portishead likely signed away its rights to everything, thus makes pennies for streaming. I would love to see what the rights holders made off Portishead. Then the discussion moved to those who make the money compensating those who create the content. I think going out it any other way is very backward. Money is being made by the labels / rights holders that's for sure. Artists must look at the labels and demand more rather than claiming streaming is the reason for their lack of income. Just my thoughts on this one. You might find this article interesting and useful, Chris. Entitled PUTTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER Remastering the World of Music, it contains a lot of relevant data and offers a fresh perspective on this topic. Here's one quote that addresses the issue head on: "Artists’ share of music revenues is small. In 2017, artists captured just 12% of music revenue with most of the value leakage driven by the costs of running a myriad of distribution platforms — AM/FM radio, satellite radio, Internet distributors — augmented by the costs (and profits) of the record labels. The proportion captured by artists is, however, on the rise (it was just 7% of industry revenues in 2000)." MikeyFresh and The Computer Audiophile 2 Link to comment
