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.

The cost-of-living crisis isn’t inevitable—it’s a ruthless choice made by corporate elites and spineless politicians who sacrifice families for profits. Energy companies are price-gouging, supermarkets are exploiting, and landlords are bleeding tenants dry, all while CEOs laugh their way to the bank. It’s time to shatter this rigged system and demand a fair economy that puts people before profit.

Trumps Zoll-Wut als Weckruf? Während andere im Schock erstarren, denkt die ÖDP weiter. Was Trump mit Chaos zerstört, kann Europa mit Haltung neu aufbauen. „Regional first“ und „nachhaltig first“ sind mehr als Schlagworte. Sie sind die richtige Antwort auf eine aus dem Ruder gelaufene Globalisierung.
