SoundCloud might be a great streaming platform for most of the world, but if you’re one of the people in charge of making sure money changes hands with the advent of this new technology, you’re probably not a fan. Earlier this month, Sony started taking down the SoundCloud streams of its major artists, and sources cite “a lack of monetization opportunities” as the reason. It won’t stop with those first few artists, and some of the musicians under Sony’s umbrella aren’t especially psyched about this new development. As FACT points out, the French dance producer Madeon, signed to the Sony label Columbia, took to Twitter to call out Sony for “holding your own artists hostage.” Here’s what he wrote

Sony will take down all of my music from my SoundCloud account in the next few days, let's have a farewell listen : https://t.co/SHZd49hnwj

Thank you SoundCloud for being such a great discovery platform over the past five years. Well done Sony for holding your own artists hostage

(Lots of love for my label Columbia of course, they're great. Less love for Sony Corporate's disconnected-from-reality strategy.)

Anyway sorry to bore you with corporate nonsense but wanted to have a little Madeon's Soundcloud account commemoration !

We don’t know much about Sony’s agreement, or lack thereof, with SoundCloud, but we do know that the label is pocketing a ton of money from its agreement with Spotify.
