LOL a label wants to do a release with me (great!) but they want to keep 100% of Apple Music royalties forever because that's part of the business strategy and they offer no advance, and only spend $300 on marketing the release with 90% of the efforts going towards Spotify (where I keep 65% of the royalties) and only 10% going to Apple Music.
Explain to me how $30 of ad spend means you get to own my song forever at one of the best paying DSP's out there is an equitable deal?
