The link to this ran as an ad on Politico today and it serves as a good example of logical fallacies in action. The key line is: "Spotify alone paid more in royalties to the Canadian music sector in 2023 than the entire Canadian commercial radio industry combined." It added, "92% of the royalties earned by Canadian artists on Spotify in 2024 came from outside of Canada." Can you spot the fallacy? The radio royalties were from Canada only, but the Spotify royalties were from worldwide. Two very different things. How does Spotify compare with worldwide radio royalties to Canadian artists. Yeah, that's what I thought. And this (again!) is why I say that advertising is the original fake news.
