The music streaming service Spotify defends himself against the charge of singer Taylor Swift, musicians too little money. Spotify have paid since the inception two billion dollars in the music industry, of which one billion since last year, CEO Daniel Ek argued on Tuesday. He pushed the buck to the music companies continue: “If this money is not fast and transparent flows to the creative community, which is a big problem,”
Swift had to release of their new album “1989″ their entire. retired music from Spotify. Then she told the website “Yahoo Music”, they would not leave their work an experiment in which artists would not be paid fairly. This accusation already taught other artists against Spotify and similar services. With rates as 0.6 cents per song-demand musicians could not survive, so the critics.
“listening habits of people have changed”
Ek countered, Spotify creates additional income where else would rule the music piracy. It is not clear that streaming services expressed the sale of CDs and downloads. After all, their sales had decreased continuously as in Canada, there is Spotify until recently but still not have been active.
Swift sold by “1989″ more than 1.2 million copies in the first week. The last was a successful musician in 2002, said Ek. “The listening habits of people have changed” – and let not turn back. Spotify has 50 million users according to current information, of which 12.5 million paid a subscription fee
