@packmusicRemember when we were promised that streaming would democratise music? Well, plot twist: it made things worse.
Our latest Provocations Paper isn't just another industry report gathering digital dust. It's a wake-up call backed by fresh data showing how the streaming economy has become more extractive and exploitative since we first sounded the alarm in 2018.
Independent artists are more invisible, more underpaid, and more creatively stifled than ever.
But here's the thing about provocations—they're meant to provoke action, not just head-nodding.
We've laid out a nine-point agenda of bold, actionable challenges for government, industry, and communities to reset power in the streaming landscape and actually protect local music cultures.
The major platforms had their chance to do right by artists. They chose billionaire CEOs and shareholders instead. Time for plan B.
