There is no assurance that if you buy a new physical copy of music that the artist will get any of the money unless you buy it directly from the artist on a website or at a show. The record companies have the royalties scam down pat too. If you buy used the artist gets nothing.
I don’t feel that there’s anything I can do about this situation. In my view, it’s up to the artists to band together, especially the superstars, and demand fairer treatment as far as payment goes for all recorded music. I am prepared to pay more for streaming if that happens, probably a LOT more. I’d like to see that happen but don’t expect it anytime soon. The system is working just fine for artists like Taylor or The Stones and you can never have too much money, just ask Bono or Roger Waters.
