Deezer is hoping to launch a pilot of a user-centric payment system (UCPS) by early 2020 in France, if it can persuade labels to back the idea. As part of its preparations, it has launched a website this morning explaining UCPS to music fans.
As a quick reminder: user-centric payments divide the streaming royalties from each listeners monthly subscription only between the artists they have listened to that month.
That’s instead of the existing ‘market share’ system used by streaming services, which gathers royalties into a central pool, then divides them and pays them out based on each artist’s share of overall streams from all listeners.
