Is it Spotify that arrange the cut for artists or the label though?
I don’t know but I’d think it’s the labels as it’s too much for Spotify to negotiate per-artist?
When food companies use slave labour or cut down old growth forest for intensive farms do we get mad at Walmart/Tesco/Carrefour for having a normal margin on what they buy from the food companies (which may or may not leave enough for the products to be sourced sustainably, but that’s a separate argument as the food companies would likely take a higher margin over keeping the same one and making their food more sustainable if paid more) or do we blame the food companies/their suppliers?
I mean, yes, but at the same time, the grocery stores can exert pressure on the food suppliers by saying “we aren’t going to buy food that isn’t sourced sustainably and responsibly,” the same way Spotify can exert pressure on labels with unfair contracts by saying “we want to make sure everyone gets paid fairly for their music getting paid”
idk if I found out a store I frequent was knowingly selling food grown with slave labor yes I would have a big issue with them!
I have bad news for you unless you’re buying direct from local farms I guess
