Musicians and industry associations have renewed calls for greater transparency in how streaming royalties are calculated and distributed, citing ongoing frustration with delayed or unclear payments from both international platforms and local collecting societies.
Industry representatives say better reporting standards would help artists understand how streaming numbers translate into actual earnings, an area many say remains opaque compared to traditional broadcast royalty structures.
Calls for Reform
Some artist associations are pushing for regulatory intervention to standardize reporting requirements, though talks with platforms and collecting societies remain at an early stage.
