Deezer is planning a pilot of ‘user-centric’ streaming payouts in France, early next year (if they can sign all the labels up: more than 40 have agreed so far).

Back in 2013 when I started the “Reboot of music industry” project I did so with the utmost flexibility in mind.

All licensing were up to the Copyright owner, and any legal arrangement and contractual agreements were not something we could or would change.

However, in 2014, real-time no technology readily existed to implement this in a neutral and transparent way.

It does now — with NIM’s ecosystem.

‘User-centric’ streaming payouts were what the NIM business model is all about (we have even taken it a bit further to introduce nano-payment in near real-time and in our implementation of EU Copyright directive 17 “upload-filter”)

Please see the different models we support at https://newinternet.media/licensing-models/ where videos are visualizing the NIM service solutions.

In the “service-centric” model, let’s call it what it is — the BIG black box that contains more than 7 Billion USD a year and where royalties where haphazardly paid (if at all)

In the user-centric model, the Copyright owner(s) are paid according to their CopyrightShares (splits) at the end of each month. All according to the real-time reporting capabilities of the NIM ecosystem.

See the short description of our ecosystem here: https://newinternet.media/copyrights-managements/

We are able and willing to initiate any pilot services with accurate and real-time reporting (and even close to real-time nano-payments if so ordered)

NIM is probably (to quote Carlsberg) the only service in the world ready to implement any licensing service under EU Copyright directive today.

We are already in discussion with many regulative authorities in several countries to that effect.
