A pair of bethroned demons, identical save for different colored robes, face each other. The left demon's throne arm is emblazoned with the OpenAI logo. The right demon's throne bears the Universal Music Group logo. The two thrones are joined by a hellmouth - an anthropomorphic nightmare maw. The eyes of the demons and the hellmouth have been replaced with the glaring red machine-eye of HAL9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' Between the demons toil two medieval serfs, bearing threshing implements.

Spotify's relationship to artists can be kind of confusing. On the one hand, they pay a laughably low per-stream rate, as in homeopathic residues of a penny. On the other hand, the Big Three labels get a *fortune* from Spotify. And on the other other hand, it makes sense that rate for a stream heard by one person should be less than the rate for a song broadcast to thousands or millions of listeners.
