Soundcloud Now Paying Royalties To Artist

I guess soundcloud pro will now be paying artist royalty checks for purchases and streams. SoundCloud, a popular streaming music web service with over 175 million monthly users, has reached a deal to pay royalties to thousands of independent record labels.

The ads will only be seen and heard in the US for now, on SoundCloud’s players. SoundCloud is the ubiquitous wild child of the digital music world. Soundcloud may begin to pay artists royalties, as the company moves towards monetizing it's sound empire. Currently Soundcloud closely rivals Youtube.

SoundCloud is desperately trying to go legal and pay royalties before labels pull their music from the streaming service. SoundCloud,the digital playground for many music fans and creators, says it will start paying artists and record labels for the first time.

Don't Get Mad, Get Even

I guess i should be careful how I title this one, this is not meant to be used in bad terms. This is something that you say in order to tell someone not to be angry when someone has upset them. Anger can be exhausting and embarrassing at times.

Be with someone who won't stay mad at you, who can't stand not talking to you, and who's afraid of losing you. Don't let your anger take the shape of fists. Don't go to bed mad. Life is too short. Keep it simple.
