Spotify will end service in Uruguay due to bill requiring fair pay for artists:: The Uruguayan Parliament approved an amendment to the country’s copyright law last month
After reading the whole article, I still don’t know what Uruguay wants to happen.
I mean, it sounds like they want their artists to recieve fair compensation.
I see that not everyone’s a cynic, yet.
What does that mean, though?
And that’s exactly why Spotify is leaving.
Spotify already paid rights holder (…the record labels, which is the one supposed to pay the artists). Under the new law, its ill defined which could make spotify pay to artists on top of paying the record labels, thus double the pay.
