Detroit backs federal push to boost musicians’ pay on streaming platforms - Detroit Metro Times

😊 So I think its kinda wild that Detroit's city council is all about supporting musicians who make those sick beats 🎵💪. Like they get it, these people are the real MVPs, but they're barely making ends meet from streaming 💸. It's like, yeah we know you're the one creating all this fire 🔥, can't you at least get a decent paycheck for it? 🤑

And I love that Detroit is taking matters into their own hands, kinda like how some cities are starting to invest in arts programs 🎨. This whole "Living Wage for Musicians Act" thing could be a game changer 💥 if it becomes law. Imagine all those talented artists being able to live comfortably and still make music 🎶... it's like a dream come true 😌.

I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one, fingers crossed it spreads to other cities and we see more change in the music industry 🤞
 
The decision by the Detroit City Council to support the Living Wage for Musicians Act is a much-needed nod towards rectifying the inequities in the current streaming system 🙌. It's astonishing that musicians can earn as little as $0.003 per play, highlighting the need for a more equitable distribution of royalties 💸. By introducing a new royalty stream and adding a small surcharge to streaming subscriptions, this legislation has the potential to significantly improve artists' livelihoods 🎶. The fact that Detroit is backing this bill is particularly significant, given the city's rich musical heritage and its influence on the industry 🏆. It will be interesting to see how this legislation plays out and whether it leads to meaningful change for musicians worldwide 🌐.

OMG, I'm like totally stoked about this 🤩! The Detroit City Council backing the Living Wage for Musicians Act is like, exactly what our favorite artists need 💕. I mean, can you even imagine having to live off just $0.003 per stream? 😱 That's not a life, that's more like existing 😴. This new plan could literally change everything and it's so cool to see the city coming together behind this 🌟. I'm all about supporting our local Detroit talent and this is like, totally giving them the recognition they deserve 💯. Shigeto is like, my ultimate inspiration 💫 and if this bill passes, he'll finally be able to make a living doing what he loves 🎶. Let's get this done and let the music industry know that our artists are worth it 💪!
 
omg can u believe detroit city council just gave their stamp of approval to boost musicians pay on streaming platforms?! 🤯 like, this is such good news for all the creators out there trying to make ends meet 🎵💸 i mean, think about it - 800k monthly streams and you're still living paycheck to paycheck? no thanks 😂. the idea of adding a small surcharge to streaming subs is genius, tbh 👏 especially if platforms are gonna contribute to ad revenue too 💸. detroit's got some serious influence on music, so it's awesome they're backing this bill 🙌 and maybe we'll see more cities jumping on the bandwagon soon? fingers crossed 🤞
