The EU has demanded streaming services increase royalty payments to artists in a resolution adopted by them on Wednesday.
By Alex Rigotti | 18th January 2024
The European Union has called for changes to the music streaming business, including fairer royalty distributions and increasing payments to artists.
On Wednesday (January 17), the EU adopted a resolution to address the imbalance of revenue allocation in music streaming, including creating a new legal framework for streaming. There are currently no EU rules that apply to the sector.
In the resolution, “pre-digital royalty rates” are to be revised, with the EU criticising business models that “force authors to accept lower or no revenues in exchange for greater visibility”.

Das Telefonat oder die große Freiheit
Wer kennt nicht die zwei Seelen, die, in unsrer Brust gefangen, uns bei Entscheidungen quälen. „Tu es“, raunt die eine mit verschwörerischem Ton, "Wenn du verzichtest, was hast du davon?" "Tu es nicht", sagt die Zweite, ihre Stimme klingt hell. Riecht nach Vernunft und Brillenkassengestell. Mit der Zweiten bin ich stets gut gefahren, ich konnte nicht klagen in all den Jahren. Dann kam der Impuls, einmal alles zu wagen, einmal frei und spontan sein - das war vor zwei Tagen. Jetzt bin ich aufgewacht, auf einem Polizeirevier. Ich hab’ keine Erinnerung, bitte glaube mir! Bring einfach 1000 $ vorbei. Die zahlen wir und dann bin ich frei. Für die große Freiheit sind nur wenige geboren. Ich lass davon die Finger, das habe ich mir geschworen!"
