Way back in the early days of the www it was called "disintermediation" - it was a good thing - according to the creative destructive capitalism line of thought. You used to be under contract to a "recording company" who hired recording engineers and distributors up and down the line - all that's gone - and Spotify remains to rake in the revenue and you incur all costs to get it on the platform - is it owned by the CCP?
Physical media is no different - I own 5K+ classical CDs - very large portion of solo and chamber artist recordings now list the musicians as "Executive Producer" - Orchestral recordings are somewhat closer to the old model - still considerable support by European state radio entities, for example.
Somehow we need more creation and less destruction. Next time around?
