Given the amount of money generated by the streaming of music, it doesn’t make sense that songwriters, composers and performers have to rely on Government support and struggle so badly to survive. However, that’s exactly what has been happening since the pandemic cancelled all the live events.
To fix this, the Musicians’ Union and Ivors Academy joined forces to demand more transparency in the flow of money generated by streaming services. If you want to help, you can sign the petition directed to the Government so they make a proper review of the rules, in order to make the streaming of music more beneficial to the artists that support the industry altogether.
