Abstract

The rapid growth of social media and streaming services over the past two decades has raised concerns about the fair and sustainable development of the cultural and creative industries, particularly the music industry. Despite the valuable opportunities that platforms offer to rights holders to generate revenue, creators and performers have repeatedly expressed doubts about the distribution of profits, arguing that the value of their works is being diminished in an economy dominated by these platforms. This led to significant legal reforms in Europe aimed at protecting rights and ensuring fair compensation, such as Directive 2019/790. This thesis aims to identify the long-standing issue of creators' compensation from digital streaming services and explore its resolution through Article 17 of Directive 2019/790. Specifically, Chapter I provides a brief overview of the history of the music industry and attempts to map this ecosystem based on the key players, their intellectual property rights, and the relationships between them. The next chapter (II) analyzes the term "streaming," the various categories in which it appears today, with a focus on music streaming. Chapter III follows with an explanation of the value gap phenomenon, an exploration of its root causes, and a critical examination of the issue. Finally, Chapter IV provides an in-depth analysis of the much-discussed Article 17 of Directive 2019/790, which was enacted after extensive consultations to balance the inequality between the profits of streaming services and the compensation received by creators and performers.
