This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.

Let us not forget how these same publishers used to price gouge us on these CDs before we had any legitimate alternatives. In the '90s, they'd charge $20-$25 for an album with 10 songs on it, most of them filler. With inflation, that'd be equivalent to $40-$50 today.
