Patari makes good on royalties promise

Music platform Patari completes its first quarter today, and is doling out royalties to the rune of 1.25 million rupees to the artists it hosts.

Patari was created to not only meet Pakistani's online music listening needs "in a legal and commercial manner", but also to help "
artists earn what is rightfully theirs."

The royalties are being distributed among Patari's entire roster of artists, according to the number of plays their songs received.

"Our kitties apologize to any artist whose payout is not enough for their retirement to a tropical island of their own, but hey, this is only our first quarter," read Patari's press release in its signature tongue-in-cheek style.

Patari's announcement was met with praise on Twitter.
