Fair market for digital music offerings
The Conseil International des Créateurs de Musique (CIAM) proposes a distribution model for revenue from the digital market that is based on the model of the Fairtrade initiatives.
In addition to open market access for all, the Fair Trade Music model should ensure fair compensation and transparency of market structures. In particular, the producers themselves should be involved in the market negotiations and they should earn a fair share of the profits from offers on streaming platforms.
Founded in 1966, the CIAM (Conseil International des Créateurs de Musique) is an originally European organization that represents the interests of music creators within the framework of international copyright organizations. The current president is the Italian composer Lorenzo Ferraro.
