I just don't see how spotify can pay an artist just 1/10,000th of a cent to an artist to stream their song. Even if 1 million people a day streamed one particular song, that only pays the artist, what, $100? I can't even do the math, lol!

There are plenty of examples on the internet of people who earn peanuts from millions of streams. As I linked earlier, James Blunt earned 0.0004499368 per stream.
The crazy thing is that companies like Spotify are valued in the billions yet they own nothing. They don't own the music or the rights to the music and they use a loophole in the law that musicians, composers and artists have been trying to get closed.
