Sumario:We study the problem of allocating the revenues raised via paid subscriptions to music streaming platforms among participating artists. We show that the main methods to solve streaming problems (pro-rata, user-centric, as well as classes generalizing them) can be seen as specific (and well-known) rules to solve (multi-issue) claims problems, which have long been studied in the operations research literature. Our results provide strong links between the well-established literature on (multi-issue) claims problems and the emerging literature on streaming problems.
