Radiohead quits Spotify. Should classical artists pull out, too?

Thom Yorke, the Radiohead frontman, has pulled his music from the streaming site because, he tweets, ?new artists get paid fuck all with this model.?

Make no mistake,? he adds, ?new artists you discover on Spotify will not get paid. Meanwhile shareholders will shortly be rolling in it. Simples.?

Nigel Godrich, Radiohead?s producer, clarifies: ?The music industry is being taken over by the back door, and if we don?t try and make it fair for new music producers and artist, then the art will suffer.?

Sound familiar? Spotify is to classical artists as Amazon used-books is to writers: there?s nothing in it for us.

Time for a mass walkout?
