Spotify Technology SA \u2026 last month shared some details of how it pays the music industry for streams on its platform. Apple\u2019s penny-per-stream payment structure\u2014which music-industry experts say can dip lower\u2014is roughly double what Spotify \u2026 pays music-rights holders per stream. Spotify pays an average of about one-third to one-half penny per stream, though its larger user base generates many more streams. Apple\u2019s payments come out of monthly subscription revenue from users. Artists, managers and lawyers, still reeling from the loss of touring revenue during the pandemic, have been calling for higher payouts from music streaming, which has grown rapidly in the past year\u2026. Both Apple and Spotify pay rights holders based on the share of total streams their artists garner on each service\u2026. Spotify has accused [Apple] of operating its App Store in a way that stifles competition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
