streaming royalties
Streaming royalties are payments made to creators of music, videos, or other content when their work is played on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. When a user listens to a song or watches a video, a small fee is paid, which is then distributed to the artists, songwriters, and rights holders based on pre-determined agreements. The amount they receive depends on factors like the number of streams, the platform's revenue, and their specific contract terms. This system allows creators to earn money from their work as audiences engage with their content online.
