I think the story is skipping a few things. Small artists already don't earn a living from streaming, so if streaming disappeared tomorrow it wouldn't hurt them. Likewise, if big labels get an investor payout, that too doesn't hurt small labels.
Streaming remains as FM radio does, exposure. Meaningful income comes elsewhere, as it always has.
Exactly.
I don't care if the streaming business goes bust - it shouldn't be making anyone any $$.
