A comment on Spotify Will End Service in Uruguay Due to Bill Requiring Fair Pay for Artists. Parent comment
Spotify takes $14 (70%) of our money and divides it by 250, this means that Simply Red gets 80% of $20 or $11,20 and A-ha gets $2,80.
The unfair part is that my money got to pay for an artist I never listened to. Why not my share moved to A-ha?
Should of course be 80% of $14, $11,20 is still correct though.
