Pays artists or publishers? iTunes would be paying the record publisher in most cases unless the artist is a self-publisher. Same should be true for Spotify. Artists were generally screwed by record companies anyway. Recordings have long been thought of as a way to get people to your concerts where you make the real money though back in the day one could make some good money on record and mechanical royalties. As a musician I was amazed at how important people thought music was when Napster popped up. You'd think they wouldn't have cut the arts from the school curriculum.
