Abstract

We study how to allocate the revenue generated by content that incorporates copyrighted material from other creators. We develop a model of copyright-based revenue allocation with overlapping claims and propose the Equal Rights rule, which divides the revenue from each contested unit of content equally among all creators holding a claim to it. We provide three independent axiomatic characterizations of the rule, built on principles directly relevant to the environment of streaming platforms. 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 in these games, while maintaining properties that set it apart from the Shapley value.
