WAIT… SPOTIFY IS ‘SUING SONGWRITERS’? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?
Yesterday (March 7), it emerged that four major owners of digital music services – Spotify, Amazon, Google and Pandora – had lodged legal appeals against the US Copyright Royalty Board’s recent decision to raise streaming royalties for songwriters (and music publishers) by 44%.
That royalty rise, which previously looked locked in, is now in serious jeopardy.
Apple Music, in contrast, has accepted the new rates, and declined to challenge what’s viewed as an important pay hike for songwriters.
SoundCloud is now offering students half off for SoundCloud Go+ streaming.
Eligible university and college students can now get the streaming service for $4.99 a month, down from $9.99.
SoundCloud Go+ is the premium tier for SoundCloud streaming, which offers high-quality audio streaming and an ad-free experience. SoundCloud’s entire track catalog can be downloaded for offline listening. SoundCloud’s collection of tracks is over 200 million, encompassing both user-uploaded material and content from labels.
UK’S COMPETITION AUTHORITY PREPARES LEGAL ACTION AGAINST VIAGOGO
impending legal action has been announced by the CMA today (March 5), warning Viagogo that “it is still not compliant” with the court order secured at the end of 2018 that required the secondary ticketing platform to implement major changes to the way it does business.
