M&H 26 – Streaming Services
While Pia enjoys her honeymoon, Steffi and Kiki talk about streaming services on a new episode of the Metal & High Heels Podcast. We take a look at the business model of these services and to provide some perspective we include the opinions of some artists we’ve asked about the topic. We also talk about an alternative payout model that’s getting more and more attention and that seems to be a better solution to the royalty controversy.
And in case you’re dead-set against music streaming services, remember that back in the day, my generation would wait by the radio for our favorite songs to be played, to then record them on cassette – and hope the radio host didn’t talk over it. Those cassettes could be multiplied easily, as were the CDs with music compilations downloaded illegally through Napster or other platforms. And piracy is still out there. Through streaming services, the artists at least get some royalty checks, even if they just pay the band’s next pizza.
