It seems like most casual listeners just don't understand this no matter how many articles there are about the current model not being sustainable or how many time their favorite artists complain about it.

There is not enough money in music for both the record companies and spotify, et. al. to simultaneously rob the artists. These streaming companies being the new middle man are going to be the first to lose out. Especially if the record companies wake up and start making their own stores/services.

I very much understand it. I just don't care.

There will always be some form of music. I pay my money for it. If they can't get by on some agreement from the record industries, I really don't care.
