UK DCMS Committee Enquiry Into The Economics Of Streaming

 

Seven Months after the first Evidence Session, the DCMS Enquiry has produced its verdict and it is an interesting read. It has been excellently reported by Andre Paine for Music Week. You can read Andre's piece here.

It concludes that streaming needs a complete reset. Topics covered include Equitable Remuneration, Market Dominance, Playlist Payola, Royalty Rates, Safe Harbour and You Tube, Legacy Contracts and Recoupment and User-centric Payments. It is a really interesting piece that covers more than I expected, but misses out on some of the independent artists' concerns.
