Even after all these years & +60m users, Spotify still loses money each year. So I don't know where this "Spotify is stealing!!1111!" thing is coming from.
Yes, their payment per stream is ridicously low. But 90% of their users still would stream for free on Youtube or illegally download the music (especially those that use Spotify Free) so that's extra money for the music industry. There's a reason why the countries where streaming fully took over are the only countries with increasing revenue, even with the massive anti-streaming campaign from artists/labels.
If people like Jay-Z want to help the artists, then give them fair contracts on your label and actual opportunities to breakthrough.
The point is that she just seems jealous that they are going to be making more money. Why hate on people trying to make more money for themselves? I'm sure she wouldn't be talking if she got that 3% share.
