🇪🇺 ❗ Five years after adopting the DSM directive, it is clear that it is not working!
➡ 💡 A report, written by Daniel Johansson, published today is based upon a survey of over 9,000 artists across the EU
🎯 Some of the key findings:
• Only 5.1% of signed artists consider their streaming revenue to be satisfactory.
• With regard to transparency, approximately 77% of signed artists did not receive the level of detailed information that they were legally entitled to receive.
• Only 35 out of 4,215 signed artists managed to adjust their contractual terms and receive additional remuneration.
• Only 5.9% of artists attempted to recover their rights, and of them, 69.4% failed.
• The possibility of alternative dispute resolution (designed to avoid costly litigation and minimise hostility between those in dispute) was barely used and when it was, a majority of artists (60%) did not find it helpful.
These results once more make it clear that the focus needs to be put more on article 18 and the responsibility (task) of the Member States to provide additional mechanisms to guarantee the fair remuneration of our artists.

The music industry and film industry is in need of a different approach with their contracts and the payment and revenue royalties with African Americans getting paid more from the industry then the lesser wages they receive from their negotiations.
Agencies and these other mainstream companies need to make new negotiation rulings from cost-of-living and the benefits given to their clients.

"IT'S TIME TO SCRAP THE CAP".
Artists and rights holders aren’t getting paid fairly for songs played on radio. A new report has found that removing royalty caps for sound recordings could mean...
i. An additional $4.8 million paid to Australian artists in royalties in 2024-25
ii. Artists played on radio could see up to $19,100 in additional income per year, or a 78% increase in income
iii. Top commercial radio stations would maintain profit margins of 15% if they paid the same rate for sound recordings as they do for musical works
iv. Increased reinvestment from record labels could see double the number of new local artists played on radio for the first time
We support PPCA’s Radio Fair Play campaign to Scrap the Caps. If you want to get involved, sign the open letter, write to your local member, or share this video.

"IT'S TIME TO SCRAP THE CAP"
A potential 78% increase in income for artists played on the radio has been revealed today in an economic study into the impact of removing caps on sound recording royalties paid by radio.
“Australian artists are doing it tough at the moment. Plenty of recent media coverage has outlined the serious and urgent challenges facing our local industry. The report shows how a fair rate would deliver additional income for Australian artists, as well as drive increased investment from labels into local artist development and promotion, helping an industry that is a proven economic and social contributor reach its full potential” Anabelle Herd

Interesting review of the K-Pop industry.
While K-Pop is ruling the world, K-Pop industry is sinking.
Why?
Since the deployment of US anti-missile defenses in South Korea, China has actively penalized the Korean culture industry within China. China was one of the long-term core markets for K-Pop. Yet, since the beginning of the year, Korean album sales in China have dropped more than 90%.
It is therefore urgent for K-Pop major labels to continue efforts to diversify their revenue streams focusing on new K-pop acts with more international (English-language focused over Chinese-language focused) components.
