Never thought I’d have reason to say this, but I’m siding with Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit on this one!
“Three decades after it rose to prominence, the band and its founder, Fred Durst, alleges that Universal Music Group (UMG) owes more than $200m after fraudulently concealing royalties from the band.”

I think Bandcamp and Apple are fair for cuts of sales.
Spotify (ptui) won’t pay us–too few streams.
We’re less than obscure. We sell under 10 units, mostly from Bandcamp, and we get about three streams per day over our library. We’d need 3 per day per track for us to earn something under $3 from Spotify (ptui).
In our best year, about $10 from streamers.
