In this video we look at the two current payment models used by streaming services to payout royalties: the dominant market centred payment system (MCPS), and the, as yet only used by Soundcloud, user centred payment system (UCPS).

Despite research and much discussion about user centric payment models over the past few years, until this year, no platform has ever rolled them out.

Enter SoundCloud, the first streaming service to implement user centric royalties, under the name "fan powered royalties".

How do these models work and which one is the fairer model overall? Watch and find out!
