Lol if only The thing is that you can lie in the tags, attributing your own npub as the original artist. But the community would recognize that's not true. You put a "p" or "credit" tag in the metadata event that points to an npub, you check if the event author is the same as the credit npub. And if it's not there, it's implicitly "unlicensed." That's my retarded way of doing it, but requires artists to identify that the credit for the song belongs to them. Imo that's how it should have been done to begin with. But it's harder to do now and leaves things broken longer while artists update their releases. The easy fix is for unlicensed releases to self-identity. And the best is for both to tag correctly. But the reality will be some level of permanently broken releases and wildly different filtering logic.

@New Music Nudge Unit and @Hash Power Music had this issue with Nostr Music because they upload tracks from their artists but it's all signed from the labels account. Can't really be solved besides allowing them the edit the artists name etc but that's more an issue with the NIP I think.

Could do many "credit" tags credit,npub1,50 credit,npub2,25 credit,npub3,25 50-25-25 zap split across three artists.

The music event already has zap splits built in 👍

But which key is the real key 😝

Smoke and mirrors all the way down 😂

Good thoughts. Will look into implementing this
