Spotify Technology SA co-founder Martin Lorentzon said he would leave Sweden immediately if the country introduces new wealth taxes.
Lorentzon urged politicians to consider higher taxes on capital or dividends instead of a wealth tax, saying it would be “directly counterproductive”.
Lorentzon said the discussions about new taxes have already created uncertainty, with entrepreneurs asking if it is still OK to start a company in Sweden.
Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal. All these steaming services pay artists more, do not try to push their AI down your throat and don’t have a CEO that calls music “content without production costs”.
Well they pay homeopathically more out to artists, but better than nothing I guess.
Bandcamp perhaps?
There’s only merch and digital music for monetization, but that’s the way to go anyway if you really want to support some artists.
