  • Why Music Streaming Services Should Switch to a Per-Subscriber Model
    DIMONT (MEDRANO_10) (DO NOT DELETE) 2/10/2018 10:11 AM Royalty Inequity: Why Music Streaming Services Should Switch to a Per-Subscriber Model JOSEPH DIMONT* Digital music streaming services, like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, currently distribute royalties based on a per-stream model, known as service-centric licensing, while at the same time receive income through subscription fees and advertising revenue. This results in a cross-subsidization between low streaming users and high streaming users, streaming fraud, and a fundamental inequity between the number of subscribers an artist may attract to a service compared to how much they are compensated. Instead, streaming services should distribute royalties by taking each user’s subscription fee and dividing it pro rata based on what the specific user is listening toknown as a subscriber-share modelor user-centric licensing. Many scholars have focused on creating a minimum royalty rate; however, this does little to solve the inherent inequity. Either the music industry should self-regulate by switching to a subscriber-centric model, or the Copyright Royalty Board should make the switch for them. Under a subscriber-centric model, royalty distribution would more accurately reward artists for generating fans, not streams. Each month, the streaming service should take each subscription fee and apportion it out based on the percentages of artists that unique listeners choose to listen to during the subscription period. This change could come through the industry itself, litigation, or regulation, but will likely face resistance from the major record labels and the services themselves. * J.D. Candidate 2018, University of California, Hastings College of the Law.

  • Musician's Rescue
    MUSICIAN’S RESCUE KIT - Earning Online Income As A Musician In Times Of COVID-19 and Beyond By Scott Bradlee www.patreon.com/tourbusuniversity FOREWORD I wanted to write this guide for all my fellow musicians out there during this crazy, gig- less time. My own act, Postmodern Jukebox, was one of the first acts to pull a national tour off the road when the Coronavirus began circulating in the United States, and since then, the threat that it has posed to the concert industry has become quite apparent. In reality, the music industry is likely to be one of the last industries to return to normalcy; after all, we’re an industry that is primarily built on getting groups of people together in a room. This is really bad news for all of us that make the majority of our income from performing live — whether it’s as a drummer in a jazz trio, an actor in a Broadway show, a DJ playing nightclubs, a headliner on a concert tour, and everything in between. The good news is that it’s entirely possible to make a great living from music online. In this guide, I’m going to share the system that I use, with a few updates for 2020. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO EARN MONEY ONLINE AS A MUSICIAN For the sake of this guide, I’m going to assume some minimum requirements on your part: 1) You’ve already put in the work as a musician, and already have at least a couple fans. Having more fans just means you’re that much closer to your goal of making a living from music.
