Words and roundup by Jesse K, powered by SoundCTRL
Licensing and dealing with the major labels is a gift and a curse for music tech companies. If you have a deal with the labels, it seems like your valuation is crippled. But without the licensing from the labels, who control so many of the major artists music, it's hard to offer a robust service.
This current situation really hampers the creativity for entrepreneurs who are passionate about music. While Warner and Universal have secured deals with Tidal, Sony lags behind. Makes you wonder—will Sony take Beyoncé's music off of Tidal? They have yet to do so, but that may change if they don't receive their Tidal advance. If labels are turning down an advancement of $1 billion from Spotify, who knows what it will take to get Sony on board.
