Don't worry, much more meager cents will add up in the recording labels pockets, and Spotify, than this band!

Very sad, but true : http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music...

Having played in a band myself I certainly do end up with a bitter-sweet aftertaste when consuming music on Spotify. I've got a paid subscription and I'm absolutely loving it!

It just doesn't make sense: music is such an integral part of our lives yet the people who drive it end up being exploited in a blatant way.

"Don't hate the player. Hate the game." comes into mind when seeing the linked infographic... I just hope to see the rules change in my lifetime.
