Sublime

This decision-making around how to price digitally scarce music and art illuminated to me that in a commodified streaming economy, most musicians don’t have the ability to set the price of their own creative output in the first place, and may be leaving money on the table in the process.

I know a ton of people, from when I started researching in 2021, at public libraries around the United States and Canada that have been working on local music streaming programmes, where they pay small flat fees to local artists to license their music for these small-scale, locally focused music streaming programmes.
