    Actually while typing that out I thought more about the technical architecture of such distributed alternative streaming service that pays artists fairly, and it does sound like it could be fun to build.

    But everyone in the fediverse already knows how difficult/impossible it is to get the average person to switch to open source software. It would most likely be a waste of time.

      Here’s a person who knows way more about the music industry than all of us in this thread out together. And he’s thought a lot about this, too

      Not so much the fediverse side of it, but the legal, and financial/jobs side of things.

      I don’t think you can get people to agree on what’s “fair” but it’s always fun to think about. What would your fair payment scheme look like?
