So let's say you make a Wikifreedia page about a Beyoncé album.

1. If she's on Nostr your put her npub in there, right?

2. You'd also make a page for every song. And nobody's stopping you from storing the actual songs on #Blossom servers and listing the hashes on those pages.

Do this in structured way and suddenly you can build apps that compete with Spotify, Netflix and the like.

You have a way for those apps to offer all music, movies, books, ...and give a massive advantage to the early (and zappable!) creators on Nostr.

Yes, this is ilkegal. But would it work? nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p

Imagine how much Beyonce would make in zaps...

If she's on Nostr. If not, users can suggest wherever else the zaps should go.

I think we might be happily surprised by a more competive and open music landscape

I was just talking about this with Stu 😄 Would love to have something like Lidarr but on nostr/blossom

I did not know about Lidarrr 👀

We have the same dream sir 🔥

Interesting... didn't know Lidarr either. So Lidarr is basically for the discovery of music on multiple file sharing sources while the content is only stored on these networks, i.e. automating downloads.

If you put album metadata on nostr and audio files on blossom servers this more like a community based spotify, since we already have the hosting solved.

With these kind of usecases I wonder how long the blossom servers will stay up when DMCA notices will fly in. 🤔

Fwiw Spotify bootstrapped with "illegal" content

That's why I keep bothering nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr with questions about how to not to go to jail doing this. Hyoercores or not, there has to be way.

The wikifreedia pages that would survive in the market would certainly be the ones that did not neglect any citation of the original artist, and the artists that would survive in the market I idealize would be those who make donating BTC to them frictionless. Hopefully the wikifreedia pages that would be most viewed, then, would be those that bridge the gap.

This is the way. Create a market for information. Self custody of npubs and wallets are the foundation.

I was just talking to a friend of mine who codes at Nvidia.. I'm slowly trying to coax him into designing a streaming service for Nostr... The concern is content regulation (as usual). In order to keep it free speech yet safe from illegal content, it would take at least some form of moderation.
