Musician income
Everyone in the world has messed up music. No one is making money in music except for the few who have the money to spend on it in the fashion industry- Hollywood ect. Even though there's more exposure and it's easier for musicians to be noticed because of the Internet, it is harder now because of that, it's a catch 22- so there needs to be something done, so that even the worst musician can make at least a penny. That's how serious this is because without money, music will not grow. Music is stunted right now. everyone just believes that this is the way it needs to be for music- that this is how it's supposed to be- like it's nature- but I'll tell you right now that if every musician had money, it wouldn't be based on how much money a musician has that makes him a good musician, it would be based on how good the musician is. No one would be buying their advertising to be a good musician, because that would be a proliferation already, everyone's already doing that, it would all come down to how good the musician is, and that's not what's going on right now. Musicians find lenders so they can spend their money on advertising, and that's how you know about a musician. There's good musicians on SoundCloud right now that the 'underground' knows about. I think they're 100% better than the shit we hear on the radio, if not up to the same par. So what's wrong with this picture? The music is not making money, and it's everyone's fault and everyone knows it. So now we know this all we need to do to change it, by allowing a musician to make at least a penny for his plays on soundcloud. It all comes back to sound cloud. If sound cloud had a billboard chart that was statistically showing you who is getting the most likes, and who was getting the most plays, because good musicians are making money to afford to upgrade, that would change music forever right there and would cause more economic demand for musicians that you don't know. They need to be able to make money off of the play, and it shouldnt come down to whether or not someone can afford to pay a musician, it should come out of the Internet's income from commercial advertising and user accounts. Because it's fair. What if every play sound cloud provided for you you got a penny out of it. If you get 1 million plays, that's a lot of pennies. people need to be making money right now, and if anybody on the Internet can help that happen at all, music sure as hell needs that help right now.
