So the songwriters stay at 9 cents instead of 15.
Um, could someone please explain to me just how getting less per song is a "positive development" ?
Can I use that argument to pay 60% of my next purchase ?
Or 60% of my income tax ?
After all, if it's a "positive development", then we should do it more often !

So what's the position of the UK market in this matter.

I doubt UK music publishers take from Apple 9 cents.




I think the industry could adopt a more flexible pricing to reward popular singers. Such as, for 1-100k copies, artists get 2 cent per song. For 100k-1m, 10 cents per song. For 1m+ 20 cents. Something like that.
