Silent Member Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Nah, I'm pretty sure that's embezzlement. Just to clarify: the artists on Tidal are paid royalties based on the monthly revenue, divided by plays or whatever, when Beyonce gets 200 million fake plays, Tidal are stealing the majority of the royalty payouts from all the other artists on Tidal and giving them to the owners wife.

markedone Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Seriously despicable if true - I've yet to read the swedish university's paper but sounds like they have some pretty blatant evidenceI hope this story gains steam rather than fizzles out.. My pessimistic side worries that the likes of kanye and beyonce will just play dumb and some programmer low level guy at Tidal will just get a slap on the wrist. I imagine it would take some other "prominent" artists speaking out about it and pulling their music for anything to change.

Candiru Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 You could tell during the roll out of this thing it was sketchy. Worse than I thought though. It seems to be a recurring theme these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Quote DN reported yesterday (June 9) that a recent Norwegian Supreme Court Appeals Committee ruling has revealed that TIDAL has been an official suspect in a “serious data fraud investigation” by the Norwegian authorities since June 21 last year. DN reported that it had obtained a company hard drive, belonging to TIDAL, which proved the streaming platform’s play-counts for two major albums from 2016 – Beyoncé’s Lemonade and Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo – had been grossly manipulated. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/tidal-now-officially-a-suspect-in-norwegian-data-fraud-investigation/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Quote Jack Dorsey's digital-payments processor Square is buying Tidal, Jay-Z's music streaming platform, for nearly $300 million, the companies announced Thursday. The move is set to bring Jay-Z to Square's board of directors. Square said it was buying a majority stake in Tidal for $297 million through a mix of cash and stock. https://squareup.com/us/en/press/tidal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
