In our #MusicStreamingInquiry session, we're questioning:

🎵Geoff Taylor, @bpi_music
🎵Roberto Neri, @the_MPA
🎵Horace Trubridge, @WeAreTheMU
🎵Graham Davies, @IvorsAcademy

Geoff Taylor @BPI says YouTube's ratio of risk and reward for its part in music streaming is "out of kilter" in response to Chair @julianknight15. While they are growing their business, they are only paying a tiny fraction of income generated to the music industry.
Is songwriting devalued by getting only 15% of streaming revenues asks @DamianGreen? Roberto Neri from @the_MPA says this has grown from 8-10% over past 10 years so it is "moving in the right direction". But yes, they will keep pushing for songwriters to get more.

A final question in the first session on the impact of Brexit on music. Maria Forte says "Brexit is bad for musicians if there's no deal and if there's a deal then who knows". @kwamekwaten agrees: "as there is currently no deal I can only see it being bad". #WorkingintheEU
