Koda is wrong for not wanting to take a 70% cut in revenue? I wonder if you'd be open to the idea of a 70% pay cut? Probably not right? Now what if your employer was the only employer where you live?



Well the problem here is also what they want money for.

Youtube pays the same in these two cases

- Someone watches the newest taylor swift music video. - I upload a video of my kid doing something funny where taylor swift is accidentally played in the background.

Should the music industry be payed the same in both cases?


This is just while they're in the middle of contract negotiations. I think it was generous of Google to offer a cut at all while there was no contract in place, and cutting off the service is really what I think should have (and did) happen.


How much money does Google make off of ads on Danish music? Maybe it's just not worth the effort at the price Koda is asking for.

I don't know. Google provides so much value in all our lives, it sounds like it's fair that it should get a 70% cut in our personal revenues, too. /s
