So you either didn't read the article or you are choosing to ignore the alternative proposed which I've felt is the better way to do this for some time. Each subscriber's $10 -> $7 (After streaming service fees) is divvied up between the artists they listen to in a given month. I fail to see how this causes any issues at all and does not result in having to buy albums one by one and gives you access to a huge music library for a minimal fee.
