Following massive global protests at the company’s many offices, Spotify has responded to demands that they make a significant increase to their per-stream royalty payments.
Artists everywhere rely on streaming revenue to pay their bills. That is more true now than at any other point in time. With touring still on hold for most of the world, streaming revenue makes up the bulk share of an artist’s earnings from recorded music. Demand for higher royalty rates will probably always exist, but recently, one such demand actually received a response from the leading music streaming service.

A fire that damaged the Fish, Food & Allied Workers headquarters in St. John s on Easter morning was a deliberate attack, according to union president Keith Sullivan.
RNC officers responded to the FFAW building at 368 Hamilton Ave. shortly before 4:30 a.m. NT on Sunday. We re very concerned. We are taking it very seriously, said Sullivan. It was intent to do damage there, and it was an intentional act of active violence.
ST. JOHN S, N.L. The union representing fish harvesters in Newfoundland and Labrador says a fire at its St. John s office over the weekend was deliberately started. The Fish Food and Allied Workers union says the Easter Sunday fire was an act of aggression against the union and its 13,000 members. Union president Keith Sullivan wouldn t speculate Wednesday about a motive behind the fire, which he said didn t cause injuries. He says between his union and the other fisheries-related organizations in the building, around 50 people are forced to work elsewhere because of smoke and water damage. Const. James Cadigan of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary confirmed today that police consider the fire to be suspicious.

DFO and the FFAW are at odds over a 50 per cent quota reduction to the total allowable catch of cod in 3Ps, along the island s south coast. This picture of cod was taken by SubC Imaging technology.(SubC Imaging)
The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans has reached an agreement in principle with France to allow a reduced cod fishery along Newfoundland s south coast, but the Fish, Food and Allied Workers (FFAW) union doesn t believe the move is justified.
DFO announced Thursday that the agreement would allow for a fishery, but the total allowable catch of cod in the 3Ps zone would be reduced by 50 per cent for the 2021 season, down to 1,346 tonnes.
