European Parliament Calls for Fairer Artist Pay on Music Streaming Platforms

The proposal includes measures for transparency in recommendation algorithms and tackling deepfakes, with a focus on supporting smaller artists.

The European Parliament has called for music streaming platforms to pay artists more fairly, with a focus on smaller artists.
MEPs have suggested revising 'pre-digital royalty rates' and making recommendation algorithms more transparent.
The proposal includes measures to tackle deepfakes on music streaming platforms and to label AI-generated songs.
The resolution is nonlegislative, serving as a plea for the European Commission to initiate legislation.
Similar efforts to support artists have been seen in other countries, such as Canada's Online Streaming Act.
