How much of what you pay for "digital rentals" goes to creators

FWIW, Apple answered this partly recently. At least as it applies to music. It's not very much, but it's supposed to be a lot more than most other services.

I believe the context was refuting accusations in the Spotify dustup. I saw it on a site like macrumors, so some salt may be required.

Bandcamp gives artists 85% to 90% of the revenue they collect.


Tidal, I believe, is the streaming service that gives most to the creators. This may or may not be related to Jay-Z being on the board.


Don't worry, Silicon Valley has already bought Tidal in the meantime.
