Intermediated Industry​

Music industry is a very fragmented and intermediated industry built on partnerships between the creator’s side (songwriters, recording artists and producers), the customer-facing side (including streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or Pandora) and the business side, which connects the other two (like publishers and record labels).

Having so many players and complex interconnections lead to a complete lack of transparency, especially to the artists themselves. As a result, things don’t always go smoothly: information and money might not be fairly shared.

Unfair Revenue Model

Moreover, the current revenue share model in the streaming music industry is unfair to all musicians and particularly detrimental to independent and aspiring musicians. Most of the revenue goes towards paying the intermediaries, and musicians are almost always left out of these discussions.

This results in a royalty distribution scheme that heavily favors intermediaries, at the expense of the musicians, ultimately undervaluing the musician’s work and revenue.

Group

Music Market Monopoly

Today, about 88.5% of the global music industry is largely dominated by three multinational record labels; Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group. Because of such market monopoly, they are in a position to dictate market rules that are most favorable to them.

They often enforce unfair contracts in negotiations with streaming services, receive large advances and bargain for minimum payment and ownership positions under non-disclosure agreements.
