CMA will examine whether platforms such as Spotify give fair deal to consumers
Britain’s competition watchdog is to launch a study into the music streaming market to assess the dominance of big record labels and platforms such as Spotify, and whether artists are getting a fair deal in the streaming era.
The market study, which has been launched by the Competition and Markets Authority after a recommendation by the UK government last month, follows a highly critical report by MPs calling for a “complete reset” of the streaming model, saying it only benefits big labels and superstar acts.
