Artists already make virtually nothing from music rights. I've seen royalties of less than $100 for a million plays, so taking away copyright royalties would do basically nothing to hurt artists.

It only hurts the recording industry that's become a monopoly which abuses copyright law to hurt artists and consumers alike

Ah, the wonderful logic of 'Spotify screws artists anyway, so lets just take the last few pennies going into their pocket and light them on fire.'

The recording industry is screwing over users and artists alike. What purpose does it serve beyond a profit sucking middleman? With the advent of the internet, recording companies are pointless. You can release your music on a personal website with a few hours of work. There's no longer a need for any distribution on radio, vinyl, CD's. The original purpose of these companies is gone, they exists solely to reap rewards from our crazy copyright laws

How did the recording industry get the rights to those royalties?
