I see the RIAA still trying to fight off steaming services like pandora which tend to give away music at a ludicrously cheap rate but the days of being a platinum selling millionaire is about to end. you better start touring if you want to eat because the rest of us are just ripping your stuff from youtube anyways.
It was noted that aloe blac and avicci only made USD $4,000 from royalties from the major streaming services for 2014 although being the #1 streamed song on the net for that year. LOL. thank good fo mega concerts. lol.
My point is people are not going to pay more than they have to for the things they need. maybe they will pay a bit more for what they want but not what they need.
