Bandcamp is all about indie and new technology, so I think it will be far easier to replace than Spotify, that has agreements with diverse studio records, for example.
resonate.coop is a spotify alternative which has been goin on for several years now. Support for small artists goes far, solidarity for all workers, Co-Ops represent a neccesary stepping stone towards a sustainable society so Subvert is nice to learn about :)
Nice! With both Bancamp and 7digital being sold to some licensing company, apparently the same one even, I’ve been looking for a new place to get my digital music. Hope this works out for them!
They explained what they’re trying to do, but they didn’t explain the how, and that annoyed me. Why do we have to wait for the countdown to know actual relevant information about this project?
We are very similar haha. BCF has been such a success (at getting $ to musicians) I wonder if Subvert will have a similar special day. “Subvert Sundays” maybe?
Although Friday is kind of the perfect day - the end of the with week for most, and not as busy as Saturday, or as sobering as Sunday.
Okay, I was ready to call out Spotify, until I read this:
The assumption there has been that streaming services would not be paying more money out, but rather that a portion of those payouts would be paid directly to artists (via a collecting society). Thus, ER [Equitable Renumeration] would reduce labels’ share of the royalty pie. Spotify is saying that in its currently-proposed form, that’s not what would happen under the Uruguayan budget bill.
If it’s the label that’s supposed to be paying, but Spotify might actually be charged, that’s a valid reason for Spotify to be concerned.
As long as artists are compensated fairly, which is the point of this bill, I’m happy.
