[Séminaire Caen] Copyright claims and revenue allocation on streaming platforms - UFR SEGGAT - MRSH

Abstract:
This paper examines how to allocate the revenue generated by content creation on streaming platforms when creators may hold overlapping copyright claims over the work of others. We develop a stylized model of such environments and propose the Equal Rights allocation rule. We provide three axiomatic characterizations of this rule based on principles directly relevant to our setting. Using a cooperative game-theoretic approach, we define content creation games that capture revenue generation under copyright constraints. We show that the Equal Rights rule always produces Core-stable allocations, while maintaining properties that set it apart from the Shapley value.
