Are Artists Losing 20% To 50% Of Their Streaming Royalties? Depends On Whom You Ask

Last week, the Berklee Institute of Creative Entrepreneurship, or BerkleeICE, released a report that paints the current model for streaming services as labyrinthine, confusing and filled with incomplete information, with money owed to artists getting to them far less frequently than it should, pooling instead into the pockets of labels and other intermediaries. The report, entitled "The Fair Music Report," contained one bombshell: a charge that artists are missing out on 20 percent to 50 percent of the royalties they are owed for streams of their music. - Max Willens, International Business Times [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
