A Digital Service Provider is a company that allows users to stream and/or download music online. Examples are Apple Music, Spotify, and Bandcamp. Streaming is 80% (or more) of Digital Music Revenues. Streaming DSPs receive money from users in the form of subscription fees. Typically, DSPs take 30% and then calculate royalties to artists based on the numbers of streams from that remaining pool. The practice and artist remuneration is subject to intense debate, controversy, and criticism. https://medium.com/cuepoint/streaming-music-is-ripping-you-off-61dc501e7f94
