Fair MusE is pleased to announce the release of its first policy brief titled “Fairness in the EU music ecosystem policy: towards a multifaceted approach.” This collaborative effort, authored by the project’s distinguished academic researchers, features contributions from Antonios Vlassis (ULIEGE), Giuseppe Mazziotti (UCP), Evangelia Psychogiopoulou (ELIAMEP), Apostolos Samaras (ELIAMEP), Anna Kandyla (ELIAMEP), and Dealan Riga (ULIEGE).
Grounded in the mission of Fair MusE, this policy brief provides an insightful examination of fairness within the European Union’s Digital Single Market Strategy, particularly focusing on its profound implications for the music sector. It outlines how the EU’s pursuit of ‘fairness’ and the trend of platformisation have widened the debate on how to approach and define this normative concept within and beyond EU copyright law in our ever-evolving, data-driven digital economy.
Fair MusE is dedicated to promoting fairness in the European music industry by raising awareness of how algorithms, data collection, and exploitation models employed by social media and streaming platforms impact music creators, publishers and record labels, online gatekeepers, and music consumers. A paradigm shift in the music industry’s business models, revenue streams, and operational practices is needed to strike a fair balance for all involved.
