    Artists are basically already not getting any serious royalty from streaming. Streaming is essentially free other than operating costs for the companies.

    You can also listen to that latest track on the radio for nothing.

    To fragment the market you’d have to have something so powerful that people would go to one place over another for lack of having it. The effect is surprisingly weak in the music segment, people just listen to other things.
