    Is it Spotify that arrange the cut for artists or the label though?
    I don’t know but I’d think it’s the labels as it’s too much for Spotify to negotiate per-artist?

    When food companies use slave labour or cut down old growth forest for intensive farms do we get mad at Walmart/Tesco/Carrefour for having a normal margin on what they buy from the food companies (which may or may not leave enough for the products to be sourced sustainably, but that’s a separate argument as the food companies would likely take a higher margin over keeping the same one and making their food more sustainable if paid more) or do we blame the food companies/their suppliers?
