Hell they might already be paying a penny per stream to some major labels, and everybody else takes whatever's left over, we have no idea.

Maybe Drake's label demands a penny per stream for his new album or they pull it. And then somebody else who's on a tiny label gets 0.00000000001 cent per stream because that's all that's left.

They really need transparency, the labels will never be transparent so Spotify has to be. If nobody's transparent about these deals then there probably needs to be legislation.

That would be obvious anti-competitive behavior on the part of music labels if that's what's going on, and knowing them it probably is.
