On Wednesday, January 17, the European Parliament voted by a resounding margin in favor of changes to the music streaming royalty industry “to ensure the music streaming sector is fair and sustainable, and to promote cultural diversity.” The resolution was adopted by 532 votes to 61 with 33 abstentions. Parliament calls for a new EU legal framework for the music streaming royalty sector, as streaming services continue to dominate as the primary method of accessing music.
