An axiomatic approach to the revenue sharing in the music streaming industry

G. Bergantiño Cid, J. D. Moreno-Ternero

In music streaming platforms artists upload their songs and users listen the songs they want. Artist are paid according with the streaming times of their songs. The most popular payment method is the so called pro-rata, where artists are paid proportionally to the overall streaming times of their songs. Recently some platforms started to use a new payment method called user-centric, where each user's subscription fee is divided proportionally among artists based on the songs listened by the user. We compare both payment methods using the axiomatic approach.
