It's been a commonplace of discussion about online streaming of music that it would deliver a fairer deal to the artists concerned. Yet one artist - Lady Gaga - scored 1 million plays for one track - yet received just 108 pounds for doing so. |

If it's talking about 3 minutes of music shouldn't it correspond to a single radio broadcast on a station that had coverage of 1 million listeners? It seems as though it might (1 live stream = 1 listen on a radio receiver).

In a way, seeing as how popular music becomes more and more insulting to civilization with each passing moment, it brings me no small pleasure to see the artists making little payback for their extroverted (i.e. self-loathing) and populist utterances. This kind of leveling effect is just what that type of music deserves. If these 'artists' want to have blind faith in the global capitalist ideal, than they have no right to bitch and moan when the system grinds them into dust.
It's certainly a shame when truly-talented musicians and performers inadvertently let themselves get caught up in that mess though...
