N2 - This paper analyses the Department of Digital, Culture, Media & Sport committee’s inquiry into the economics of music streaming. The scrutiny of the committee’s oral and written evidence, and final report is placed within the context of the music industry’s significance to UK cultural policy since the late 1990s. The perspectives of the UK’s musicians and song-writers are a focal point of the analysis of the inquiry’s published documentation, as they are when discussing the committee’s recommendations released in July 2021.
