Fair MusE focused on the European music industry with the aim to promote fairness for music creators and stakeholders from an interdisciplinary perspective, thus leading to a more transparent, competitive and sustainable music ecosystem in Europe. Fair MusE devoted particular attention to online platforms and their algorithms and investigated: (i)the legal responses that had been proposed in the EU; (ii) the changes these platforms had brought to the music industry and music professionals; and (iii) the impact of such algorithms on music consumption.
Fair MusE provided an interdisciplinary analysis of fairness in the music industry involving music creators and stakeholders in the research; promoted and enhanced transparency concerning music industry practices and standardisation in data collection in the European music ecosystem; assessed the risks created by the reinforced dominance of the largest online platforms prompted by COVID 19; and made policymakers, stakeholders and the general public aware of such risks. In order to meet these objectives, Fair MusE provided an innovative, strong and future-proof set of co-created responses and solutions.
