By August Brown and Kenan Draughorne, Los Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES — Every day, Joey DeFrancesco hears from fellow musicians who see actors and screenwriters on strike, and wish they were on a picket line too.“A lot of musicians are really angry now. I get messages all the time asking ‘Why aren’t we on strike?'” said DeFrancesco, guitarist for the rock band Downtown Boys and co-founder of the activist nonprofit group United Musicians and Allied Workers. “Writers and actors are on strike demanding changes in how streaming platforms compensate labor.

Yet the rockers, pop singers and hip-hop artists who create the vast majority of music we consum...
