The skinny: Spotify’s Kene Anoliefo – Senior Product Lead, Creator Marketplace – has confirmed that the company is paying 50% of (pro-rated) net revenue generated by directly-distributed artists to the performer/recorded music rights-holder concerned. That, we believe, matches the same revenue split offered by Spotify in its much-discussed direct licensing agreements with artists.
