The Fair Music Platform

Decentralized streaming

The Fair Music Platform makes it possible for everybody involved in creating fantastic music to be paid according to the value they create. We believe this can spark a revolution in the global music industry that will provide resources enabling creators to produce more music and make a living off their work. Furthermore, it will promote the easy sharing of cultural expressions locally and worldwide.

A consortium of 3 different organizations presents the Fair Music Platform (FMP): the International Music Council, a professional organization focused on promoting the value of music in the lives of all peoples; New Internet Media, a technology company dedicated to developing internet-based solutions for music creators. Skap was founded in 1926 and is a membership association for music creators in Sweden with approximately 1,600 professional members – mostly active music creators and composers across all genres with members like Max Martin, Robyn, and Benny Andersson (ABBA).

The project is, in effect, the result of many years of discussion and advocacy at national, European, and international levels about the rights of music creators, in particular concerning fair remuneration and recognition.

Fair Music Project, survey

The Fair Music Project aims to address the issue of fair remuneration and recognition in the digital environment. A fully working prototype of a streaming platform will be developed hand in hand with those first involved – creators – to create a product that directly meets the needs of those who are the foundation of music creation.
Through this survey, you can contribute to the design of a new era of streaming services.
