New York, NY (Top40 Charts) There have been no one to protect artists from gross things like youtube and spotify paying .00000005 for a stream and pocketing rest, but what is worse, companies like TIDAL and JAY Z steal not only from a few but thousands and thousands and thousands of artists are not getting a penny of hundreds of thousands they are owed.
Well, guess what, between us four artists we are on two labels DISTROKID and TUNECORE, we each subscribed to TIDAL, GOOGLEPLAY, GROOVE, RADIO,APPLE,SPOTIFY, RHAPSODY, and we had 40 friends and family and managers and entertainment lawyers to join each of them too. Main objective to make sure each one of us four artists had at least 2000 plays by all 40 plus us for 44 people from each streaming company. About 50,000 to 80,000 from each company of legit plays. But, when we checked with TUNECORE, DISTROKID all 4 of us artists had sometimes 15,0000 paid some from other counties and other fans mind you, but oddly sometimes 5 or NONE. Mostly losses from MICROSOFT GROOVE, GOOGLEPLAY, TIDAL.
But GROOVE and MICROSOFT are great companies. We know for a fact TIDAL is stealing millions, and we are making it public that not just us but there are over 50 other alliances like ours and we urge others to do this artists protecting artists, we urge TIDAL to pay up the last 18 months it owes and JAYZ you can hide behind all your lawyers but they know your a snake. We are hoping in the next week DISTROKID and TUNECORE fill in the missing gaps of its mistakes and we are hoping it is just a clerical area, but its very easy for our data once handed to proper people, for them to see where the sales are going once handed to the companies. Right now we have faith in DISTORKID And TUNECORE, but we shall see how before XMAS turns out, cause clock is ticking and our accounts better be dripping by then.
