Most businesses are designed to move value away from the people who create it and toward the people who own the corporation.
Cooperatives work the other way around. This seems obvious when you say it plainly. The Pack Music Co-operative is a registered cooperative, which means the musicians on the platform are members - not users, not content providers — and they have a democratic vote in how it's governed.
The revenue split is structural, not discretionary: 70% to artists - user-centric, going to the people you actually listened to 15% to sector development — grants, touring support, industry programs 15% to platform operations. Nothing else.
No billionaire CEOs. No shareholder payouts. No venture capitalists wondering where their 10X returns are.
