Agreed. Ive said this before but the superpower I thought blockchain technology could provide is if the master recordings of a release could be cryptographically signed and then each use, be that broadcast/streaming etc. could be on an open ledger. Its never really materialised.
Maybe that could be discussed? Imaginevthat. You sign the master then you KNOW every time its played on radio etc and accounting would be accurate and verifiable.

That's beyond me but I'll take note.
Blockchain poderia ter revolucionado direitos autorais, mas o sistema fiat ainda controla a economia.
if only everyone agreed on the best ledger! @Fanfares are the first i see approaching this the right way: incentivize honesty. As a creator you can give promoters a commission, which means it becomes more rewarding to just bump the original artists channel than the pirate channel.
But proof of origin or whatever..... even with cryptography and automation: as long as we can output and input media, shit's going to be ripped and copied and shared. Embrace it!
A tecnologia blockchain promete transparência, como a auto-propriedade promove liberdade.

Sounds a bit like Multilevel Marketing haha
I'll have to check it out thanks.
I wonder how many indie artists release on Spotify, etc for the purpose of generating income?
Or do they do it because that's where the people are and what is expected of them, and it's not a financial decision at all?
