1 Streaming service types

Streaming platforms can be categorized into two main types: on-demand and non-interactive. On-demand services allow users to choose what songs they want to listen to, such as Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. Non-interactive services play songs based on a genre, mood, or algorithm, such as Pandora, iHeartRadio, or SiriusXM. On-demand services usually pay higher royalty rates than non-interactive services, because they require more licenses and rights from the music owners. However, the exact amount of royalties varies depending on the platform and the deal.

As plataformas de streaming definem taxas de royalties para músicos com base em acordos contratuais com gravadoras e métricas de audiência. A negocia??o com gravadoras é complexa, e os modelos de licenciamento, como pro-rata e user-centric, afetam como os royalties s?o distribuídos. As plataformas rastreiam dados de streams, dura??o e convers?o de assinantes. A importancia de saber como isso funciona é que os músicos dependem desses royalties para sua renda, e a justi?a na distribui??o é fundamental para o setor musical.

2 Streaming royalty calculations

Streaming platforms calculate royalty rates for musicians based on a variety of formulas and variables. These can include the total revenue of the platform, the number of streams or plays, the market share or popularity of a song or an artist, the type of license or agreement between the platform and the music owner, and the country or region where the stream or play occurs. Each platform has its own unique approach to calculating and distributing royalties, which can be complex and difficult to understand. For instance, Spotify employs a pro-rata system, while Apple Music uses a per-stream system, and YouTube combines factors such as views, watch time, engagement, and ads.

3 Distribution deals and splits

Another factor that influences how much money musicians can earn from streaming platforms is the type of distribution deal they have with the music owners. Music owners can be record labels, publishers, distributors, or independent artists. Depending on the deal, music owners can take a percentage of the royalties before paying the musicians. For example, if a musician signs a deal with a record label, the label can take up to 80% of the royalties, leaving the musician with only 20%. If a musician signs a deal with a distributor, the distributor can take up to 15% of the royalties, leaving the musician with 85%. If a musician distributes their music independently, they can keep 100% of the royalties.

4 Country and region differences

The final factor that affects how streaming platforms set royalty rates for musicians is the country or region where the stream or play occurs. Different countries and regions have different laws and regulations regarding music licensing and copyright. Some countries and regions have higher royalty rates than others, because they have more favorable terms for music owners and creators. For example, according to a report by Digital Music News, the average royalty rate per stream in the US is $0.00437, while in India it is $0.00014.

Streaming royalty calculations are intentionally complex. In Donald Passman's book, "All You Need to Know about the Music Business," which I strongly recommend reading, he describes various aspects of streaming calculations and explains in depth how distribution is done. I highly recommend this book to everyone in the industry for a comprehensive understanding of these complexities. This book offers valuable insights into the inner workings of streaming royalties, making it an essential read for anyone looking to navigate this aspect of the music business.
