U2's Bono Enters Spotify Debate
. Spoiler alert: he's not against it. "It's an experimental period," Bono told The Guardian. "Let's experiment. Let's see what works. When people pick on Spotify: Spotify are giving up 70 percent of all their revenues to rights owners," the Irish singer said. "It's just that people don't know where the money is because the record labels haven't been transparent." Later, Bono added: "I think artists should be paid way more than they are, but the greatest way you serve your songs is to get them heard." And this is the dichotomy, whereas Taylor Swift or The Black Keys don't really need help getting their music heard, nor do they need the Spotify revenue. But Bono seems to recognize this.
