"What digital represents for artists is pathetic. It's all in the parasites," says Miguel Guedes of Blind Zero

"As long as we continue to call the multiple forms of art 'content,' we are condemning them to subsidy-dependence and commercial dependence on brands," considers the musician and also jurist, highly critical of the current models of remuneration of artists and creators via streaming. 

Miguel Guedes, from Blind Zero, believes that artists today are "ridiculously compensated" for the art they produce. In an interview with BLITZ magazine, the musician and jurist - director of GDA Porto, a cooperative that manages artists' rights - argued that "what digital represents for artists is pathetic. Everything remains in the parasites".

"While we continue to call the multiple forms of art 'content', we are condemning them to survival", adds the vocalist of Blind Zero, "and then to subsidy-dependence, commercial dependence on brands and everything that deprives us of artistic freedom".
