Without money how is a musician going to make more music? They need to make enough money to be able to live their life, and make music at the same time. If they don’t get enough money they will have to start choosing whether to make music or eat dinner at night. Who is going to make money off of unlimited songs for 5 dollars a month?

That is not including the fee the company will take for streaming the music. How can an artist make that much money and be able to eat dinner and make music at the same
