Streaming services like Spotify are notorious for making tiny, per-play payments. But it turns out that none of that matters, because none of that makes it back to the artist. And now we have proof: here’s a copy of Lady Gaga’s contract with Interscope Records, owned by Universal Music Group, the largest label in the world.Pay careful attention to the second page, section 10.06, which states that Interscope will not pay anything to Lady Gaga on licensing deals that involve the entire label catalog. This is exactly how licensing deals are arranged with streaming services. According to the label source that leaked this document to Digital Music News, this covers any and all revenues coming back from streaming services, including per-play revenues and acquisitions 像Spotify这样的流媒体服务因每次播放的小额付费而"臭名昭著"。但结果这些都不重要了，因为这些都没能回到一些艺术家手里。现在我们有了证据:这是Lady Gaga与环球唱片公司的合同副本，环球唱片公司是世界上最大的唱片公司。请仔细阅读第二页，第10.06节，其中声明，在涉及整个唱片目录的授权协议中，签约公司不会向Lady Gaga支付任何费用。这正是授权协议与流媒体服务的安排方式。根据向《数字音乐新闻》泄露这份文件的唱片公司消息来源，这涵盖了流媒体服务的所有收入，包括每次播放的收入和版权收购（比如apple对beats的收购)[图片]
