Musicians and songwriters are still receiving "pitiful" returns from streaming their music online, according to the DCMS (Dept of Culture, Media and Sport) committee of MPs, who first came to this conclusion last year. The acting chairman of the committee, Damian Green, repeated the earlier claim in an update to the report: "Too many artists receive pitiful returns despite making successful music. The main players need to get together to remedy this in a sustainable way." He called on the government to develop a national strategy for music, which involved proper remuneration for songwriters and musicians. Working groups should be set up at once to sort out these injustices.
