the singers “they do not receive fair remuneration” with “music streaming services”estimates Emmanuel Macron, in an interview with the American cultural magazine Variety Wednesday, October 9.
“Nowadays, with streaming music services, singers do not receive fair remuneration”affirms the President of the Republic, deploring that the dominant economic system decides “Pay people who stream very well. »

“In the musical field, for example, [le modèle] underestimates several artists who have an average audience, while an artist who is suddenly downloaded by a few young people for a few months will be paid quite well »continues the President of the Republic.
Emmanuel Macron would like “maybe see some singers [français] like Etienne Daho or Barbara Pravi make a little money at the same time as Taylor Swift, so it’s not one-way. The streamer model today is biased ».
Opponents of “Market focused” campaign for a model called “User-centered”focused on individual listening to subscribers.
