Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth has become the latest big name to slam music streaming service Spotify, saying that he "owes it" to his fellow musicians to not even possess a Spotify account because, "I want my bands to be paid because if they’re not paid, they’re not bands anymore.”
Filth’s railing against the increasingly dominant platform comes as part of a new interview with the Sonic Perspectives YouTube channel, in which he voices an increasingly widespread opinion that streaming – with the finger being pointed as Spotify in particular – is responsible for the decreasing amount of cash being invested into new artists and subsequently delivered to musicians.
