Spotify Draws What The Players Are Fighting For To Receive Royalties

Although some of us may forget the thought of laughing, comedians, like songwriters, write content to entertain us. There is a difference though: Songwriters are paid for their work, comedians do not. In the sports age, players hopes to change this, especially considering the popularity of the content on digito platform. Koma tjust ran into a wall called “Spotify.”

Spotify downloaded the work of hundreds of comedians, including big names like John Mulaney, Jim Gaffigan, and Kevin Hart, the The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. Mulaney, Gaffigan, Hart, and other comedians are represented by Speech Giants, a global human rights organization that is leading the fight for access to radio and digital platforms, such as Spotify, SiriusXM, Pandora, and YouTube, to pay tribute to actors in defense of their written work.

According to his release, the giant has been in talks with the Spoken Giants but has not agreed. At Thanksgiving, Spotify announced the Talk Giants who could pull off all the work with the players represented by the organization until they understood.

Spoken Giants CEO Jim King, former director of music rights company BMI, told Gizmodo in a statement that the company has a “clear plan” for digital service providers, digital platforms, and radio to discuss wipes away tears. for comedy writers. Unfortunately, he said, Spotify has removed the work of individual players instead of continuing the discussion.

“In music, the pay of songwriters is a way to earn a lot of money, so this is not a strange idea and our work is based on established and well-known language,” King said. “With this download, every comedian is now being punished for again asking for songwriters to receive compensation.”

King said the Talking Giants arrived at Spotify after they fired their members but did not respond. He further added that the company requested an immediate meeting with Spotify to resolve the issue.

If the battle to pay jokers for their work seems to be over out of the blue, because for a long time there was not much money collection. Jokes are often rarely used in traditional literature, such as on the radio. With the advent of digital platforms, this has changed. Now the comedy is being played “more” on these platforms, According to Speech Giants.

After claiming that Spotify had paid “a lot of money” for its downloads, a company spokesman told Gizmodo that Spoken Giants was violating the rights of various licensors. The comedians here are paid as actors through their writings or distributors. In addition, they are paid a digital fee by SoundExchange when their work is played on a digital platform.

“Spotify has paid a lot of money for the services, and would like to continue to do so,” Spotify said. “However, since the Spoken Giants are vying for the rights to the various licenses, it is important that the documents that distribute this, Spotify and Spoken Giants come together to resolve this issue to ensure that this is still available to fans around the world.”

The biggest problem is that the fees paid for Communication giants and other independent organizations are complaining that they are coming out, the Journal said. Spotify closed contracts with playwrights and vendors thinking they had already paid all the bills that were due. Now the Spoken Giants say are required pay for the registration. There are two options that look like: Spotify can take the money they pays and sellers to pay jokers, or they may pay a fee for a written service without affecting other fees.

In view of Spotify’s refusal to paying higher prices for composers and songwriters, something tells me that a high price will be hard to sell.
