Over the summer, Thom Yorke bashes the music streaming service Spotify for not being artist friendly. Here is an excerpt from Mstars' coverage of that news:

Yorke, the lead singer of innovative modern rock n' roll band Radiohead, will pull his solo album, The Eraser, and his latest album with his band Atoms for Peace,AMOK. Godrich, who was heavily involved in these two projects and has removed his band Ultraista from the service as well, has described this stance against Spotify as a "small meaningless rebellion."

Fed up with the amount of royalties that artist make from Spotify, Yorke took to Twitter to vent his frustration, eventually ending with his decision to pull his music. He informed his followers "new artists get paid f*ck all with this model," and that he and Godrich were "standing up for our fellow musicians,"

"Make no mistake new artists you discover on #Spotify will not get paid. Meanwhile shareholders will shortly being rolling in it. Simples," Thom tweeted.

"The numbers don't even add up for Spotify yet," Godrich argued on Twitter. "But it's not about that. It's about establishing the model which will be extremely valuable. Meanwhile small labels and new artists can't even keep their lights on. It's just not right."

"Spotify and the like either have to address that fact and change the model for new releases or else all new music producers should be bold and vote with their feet. [Streaming services] have no power without new music," Godrich tweeted.
