This is About to Make A LOT of Artists Money...

[@BrandmanNetwork]

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: This bill is being passed in the United States, but can effect ALL artists. There's 2 things to consider: (1) This is NOT based on where an artist lives, but where the fans consume the streams occur. (2) That means that because we are in a global economy and most streaming platforms are global, an artist can be in Europe and have fans consuming their music in the U.S. So those streams would fall under the mandate. And to be even more clear, countries ALREADY have different payout rates. This is nothing new. The U.S. already pays more than other countries. They are just raising the number even more (if this passes)

[@TreyRaps]

When can we expect it to be passed or not?

[@djishinelive]

wouldn't subscription services be raised as a result?

[@mcduffiemarketing]

This may have something to do with the new payout structure Spotify introduced. Spot on timing. Possibly cut about a billion streams from artists streaming under 1000k streams. Right before the 1 cent bill is passed.

[@smokehashxuriahjahvid]

The rest if the world is somehow more likely to see us I guess it's the gatekeepers.. My videos only have a few hundred views yet a kid from the barrios in Peru seen me on KZbin. Recognized me cause I came to Peru. 🇺🇸 is blocked hardcore by gatekeepers is my assumption

[@smokehashxuriahjahvid]

@@djishinelive so far there are still options. Free distribution at the cost of offering royalties% which is a win for me because spotify cutting royalties under 1000 streams means my distrokid is no longer paid for by spotify royalties like it had been since 2020 when I started

[@tracksgalore]

The people who buy catalogs knew this bill was going to be introduced in advance, the next play is playlists receiving royalties like radio which will make catalog owners hundreds of millions in generational wealth.

[@EndaCherimoya]

Do you mind expounding on that? Thanks!

[@jamespatient7438]

Is it definitely being passed?

[@LuxVooMusic]

Already on the way

[@lewybluestrips]

Giving big playlist a royalty split to keep the song in rotation is a great business move.

[@DueceSpice]

ANYTIME YOU SEE COMPANIES SPLURGING ON CATALOG JUST KNOW THEY HAVE THE POLITICAL PARTIES IN THEIR POCKETS..JUST LIKE OIL COMPANIES AND TERROR GROUPS AND THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRY

[@NORBZMUSIC]

This is crazy, I am one of those people with a huge catalog and a lot of it is timeless. I already do lifechanging money, if this goes into play I'mma be santa clause and get to bless more people. Always said we'd have new tech, new unforeseens, new platforms, new LAW's, etc so it's important to have a catalog and have it up collecting metrics.

[@TheRealCellus]

Future royalties are why streaming are perfect for artists. At one point we didn’t have the option monetize our Music for future revenue. We were only able to get the now sale, and now we can get Sales forever on the same songs. Real business people understand this and that’s why record labels will spend so much money on buying masters. A lot of artists don’t get this.

[@lewybluestrips]

[@DueceSpice]

Yeah for the top 10%

[@TheRealCellus]

@@DueceSpice nah for everyone. I’ve been making money of my album since 2020

[@TravTorch]

The cost increases are going to go to distribution fees... instead of artists paying $99 per year its going to be $199 per year. If you have no fees and a 80/20 split maybe now it becomes a 70/30 split.

[@Pollvrd]

Luckily I’ve been working for years and achieving new heights this is a blessing I’m releasing my 13th album soon and it’s not only paying off now but in the future it’s going to be very abundant not only for myself but artists worldwide!!! This is music to any established artists ears thank you for this very valuable information

[@rapgemsdaily]

nobody is getting taxed because of this bill. Music is $0.00 people pay to listen ad free. Streaming platforms already making crazy bread from ad revenue and subscriptions prices. They’ve been stacking hella profit for years, I think they’ll be straight. This is a W for Artists 💎

[@Cleomatters]

Ive been rapping for 8 years straight and never made over $2k. Once i made the shift to throwing my own shows, ive made well over $80k in a span of 7 months. It's time for artists to level up and use the profits to do bigger things instead of nickel and diming their whole career

when i was a kid, you know how much i spent on CDs every month? i had a great collection that was unfortunately lost in a flood… we’ve had it way too easy with the cheap price of these streaming platforms and artists deserve more from streams, so i don’t mind paying more. of course i don’t love the corporate-in between.. but that’s how this sh* goes. streaming is an insane luxury.

[@vfb66]

WE FINNA GET A RAISE ! 🗣️

[@rtistofficial6070]

At the end of the day these platforms ain’t ours , even if the bill gets fully passed what if they just set a high threshold for payouts ? The only real way forward on the industry is true decentralisation

[@lovelivelaugh4542]

crypto NFT is the only way to decentralize it my buddy, and thats the sad reality. Thats the purpose of it and if people dont cling to that they will just lose out.

[@sonicesso]

More than likely they are going to add some features & add a tier system for Spotify for example … basic .. premium etc. So instead of just charging the consumer more they will give them the option of a higher prices subscription with additional features.

[@Zellymackintosh]

Thank you for the information brother!! I made it so far because of you!!!

[@Cloutjonesdotcom]

This is a great change, but I have the feeling the platforms will simply start charging independent artists for releases. Now part of that %10 Non subscription revenue pot will come from artists fees. Indie artists will end up paying the royalties for larger artists indirectly because larger artists will still get preferential treatment.

[@BeraniOfficial]

What do you mean by this? You think DSP’s will make distributors irrelevant?

[@Cloutjonesdotcom]

@@BeraniOfficial essentially if I'm Spotify and I have to pay you more as an artist I would just charge artists to be on my platform to offset the cost of royalties.

[@Dadhus1]

Personally, I won't be pinning any hopes on a bill put forward by some of the most financially ignorant members of Congress ever to hold the position. But, you do you. 😂

[@Chunographx]

It's a win? for nobody but the platform itself, nobody wants to pay the artist let's just say that, it's definitely time to start getting more involved in venues, get paid for your performance

[@Teck_Noir]

What about Europe? Are artists based in Europe getting more per stream?

[@BrandmanNetwork]

It’s not about the artist’s location, it’s about where the streams consumption occurs

[@Teck_Noir]

@@BrandmanNetworkoh ait tnx for great content

[@iamalijahmorton]

If DSP’s adopt the same model as EVEN, where artists can sell albums with a pay what you want model, the whole fiasco would be solved and both sides win. EVEN would unfortunately go under as a result. The fact that none have done that yet is telling.

[@bounceenergydrink]

It takes 100 plays to make $1.00, 1000 plays $10.00, 10,000 plays would be $100. Its should be an alternative income stream. But the increase to 1cent per stream is better than half a cent.

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

That would equal up to 37 dollars less from ur own listens per day for 40. Bcuz u would only get about 300 views a day for 8 hrs from ur own self. That's y they need to push for indie artist to make 40 a day for listening to their own music for 8 hrs for 4 days a week

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

If u r listening to to ur music for 8 hrs a day would only equal up to 3 dollars per day. That is y they need to make it were u get paid 40 a day for artist to listen to their own tracks.😊

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

@@homestudio_cl artist Like myself need 40 a day to listen to myself; to inspire, manifest, and build new. But we need to pay bills and if u could get payed 40 a day from listening to ur own tracks for 8 hrs, then artist would be happy. With this, it's like ur the only listener, but u will only make 3 dollars a day.

[@bounceenergydrink]

@@SkyGlizzyRecords It only takes .30 seconds to register as a counted stream. There is 3600 seconds in an hour, that divided by .30 seconds equals, 120 times within an hour you can get your song streamed to be eligible for pay. So that 120 streams times, .1 cent equals about $1.20 for the hour. If you played your song all day, at .30 second intervals throughout the day, you would make about $28.80 for the day.

They dont ever pass anything if it doesnt benefit them financially, or if they dont already know about the next phase PERIOD.....

[@Camcitibeats]

It's a nice gesture but look what happened when govt tried to force companies to pay gig workers more money. A lot of doordashers and grubhub drivers are now making 1/10th of what they used to because the companies changed their business model when forced to pay more.

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

Consumers won't mind if they got to pay more, look what they did with the cheeseburger or a pack of cigarettes. Half the consumers with double pay cost equals happy artist. Same exact thing if u get half the consumers with double the price. Makes sense. Artist will win from this. Consumers will finely tune their senses into better streaming. Another tip I can give for artist is try to get radio plays bcuz 1mil plays on radio equals 80k dollars instead of 5k for 1mil regular streamers. Artist will finally win from this 😊

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

So if ur indie like me u can sell actual copies from ur music catalog bcuz people want the music for cheaper than streaming. artist wins again 🏆

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

Also this bill is great for unemployed musicians bcuz u could make 20-40 dollars a day from ur owns listens per day ! 🏆 x 💯

[@biscaynesupercars]

If this is even being talked about that for sure means scooter braun and others knew beforehand which is why they’ve been going on a shopping spree for artist publishing

[@blackmasks618]

were not getting a half a cent per stream were getting .003 of a cent per stream.. which is absolutley disgusting . Spotify will just shut down if they have to actually pay people

[@BrandmanNetwork]

(1) It's not true that you currently get paid exactly .003 per stream. Quick Google's will give you a range, at best..but the reality is they don't pay the same for premium user streams vs free user streams. They don't pay the same per country AND on top of that it's still a pooled system. (2) I clearly said that half a cent is to be simply in the video and cite the .003-.005 range.

[@TavardoReasias]

So they say sell your music then they say they streaming. Let us sell our own music... Music streaming ain't no different than the traditional terrestrial radio where they pay some royalties, the only difference is that it's online/digital. Let us have a say over our own music.

The Music game is changing to DIRECT TO CONSUMER. Artist are beginning to sell their product directly to the fans. Streaming is about to be a rap. It's not fair to Artists and producers who put in time creating art and people get to basically listen for free. Artists are giving away free product.

[@razmatazzsi2293]

Are ya’ll crazy?? You’re willing to let Congress put their hands on the pot, knowing they share a common interest and purpose as the current private streaming platforms??

its slowly shifting towards that direction but not quite yet. soon though definitely

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

The music business gets worse every day for artist. Now youtube is taking away my legit views and I'm completely unable to make progress with my OAC. They do that to force u to buy thir upgrades on musicverting. They have subtracted real views from every 1 of my songs. We can not win as artist if these streaming services r not projecting real views but r in fact subtracting views. Please make a video about this so artist know there is no hope with youtube anymore. KZbin is so desperate my view count made it to 9 views on 1 song then dropped back down to 0. Im letting all artist know there is no hope left in making money from music. Negative views bcuz u wont buy upgrades that u shouldnt have to buy

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

These streaming companies r lying about real views counts to pay us less.

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

If u and all these other so called podcast wont make a video about youtube actually subtracting real views than everyone will know u r not for the people, but a mere salesman trying to sell youtube products.

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

KZbin will get sued soon I'm sure, bcuz they have been subtracting real views from my AOC channel.

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

What these streaming companies don't understand is I made 56 albums. I can just get natural views in perfectly reality without buying upgrades. They don't understand that so they start subtracting legit views from my songs. 1 song 24 views, back down to 0, this happened on a good majority of my songs on KZbin. I watched them subtract my numbers. Also Spotify kept taking listeners away from me and I made 56 albums, they left me with 7 followers, so I eventually i bought their plan for 40.00 a month. I hope yall realize they won't let your music be heard unless u buy into 1 of their plans for monthly 40.00 and up plan.

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

This is y making 1 cent per stream is no good, they will simply lie about ur view count and tell u u got less views to avoid paying u. That's y they need the bill for artist to make 40.00 a day for listening to their own tracks for 4 hrs a day. That bill won't fix anything because spotify and youtube will simply move the comma to the right 3 more places until ur 3k views projects as 3 views. That's y they need artist to make 40.00 a day for 4 hrs of listening themselves.
