Radiohead's Thom Yorke Pulls Albums From Spotify In Protest of Low Royalties

First time accepted submitter rpopescu writes "Thom Yorke of Radiohead fame has pulled his solo album 'Eraser' (as well as music made as Atoms for Peace) from the music streaming service Spotify, as a protest at how much it pays the artists. Quote: '"Make no mistake. These are all the same old industry bods trying to get a stranglehold on the delivery system."'"

While we can argue about piracy or online delivery systems, doesn't anyone think that singing karaoke for a living shouldn't make you instantly rich. For god sake maybe they are earning what they deserve.

Yup, so is carpentry. I do woodworking as a hobby. Lots of people do welding as a hobby, so we shouldn't pay welders either. Lots of people write computer programs as a hobby, so we shouldn't pay computer programmers either. Lot's of people fly planes as a hobby, so we shouldn't pay pilots.
