Torrenting? Priceless.
Everything has a price. What’s being built for music distribution on Nostr is 🔥
All publishing industries will shit themselves once they understand what’s cooking on Nostr.
The later they understand, the better
They may assume Nostr is just like the blue bird app…
I really hope this drives more independent musicians able to make an income off their work free of the parasite record companies.
Honestly the reason I don't feel bad pirating music released by a label is because I know 1% is going to the artist if they're lucky.
When it's independent musicians on Bandcamp and indeed new zap platforms like #[6] I'm happy to pay directly to the artist.
Absolutely, it’s that tough situation where they still need to make the money to keep making music, so I want to pay, yet I know all the leeches along the way will get most of what I give.
Have you seen what #[6] would like to achieve on the production side of things?
Split enabled zap tags attached on the content would ensure a split at each incoming zap whether it’s donation, pay per play, monthly reward from streaming clients, ad paid play…
I hadn't, so many new projects to keep up with and I love it. Decentralised internet + magic internet money is definitely the key to bypassing the labels. I love seeing how big Wavlake is getting already, gives me hope it'll finally be adopted!
What I like about stemstr after chatting with the dev is that it aims to foster online collaboration between musicians/loop makers, producers and vocal artists. The GitHub of a track they called it.
Nostr seems like this little tweeter clone, but under the surface it’s the new web, publishing behemoth detached from FIAT. 🙌
That's a fucking genius idea! One stop shop to music production by connecting creatives with different skills on top of a decentralised publishing platform!
This would deal a huge blow to labels if it catches on. The only other piece is promotion, but if the listener platforms catch on one can simply pay for that with sats.
Combined that would literally make labels 100% obsolete. It's about time!
The distribution aspect is being addressed at protocol level. There are a few bits and pieces in the pipeline that would make it work.
Notes holding encrypted files (then need to find a way to have a zap send the decryption key, zap wall)
Zap tags… so that a LN address can follow content if it is being redistributed.
Zap splits at Nostr protocol level, to split the income amongst the makers
Decentralized heavier duty servers (for bigger media, music and video)
Once the media distribution aspect is standardized it will be up to the clients to imagine how the audience can interact with and pay for it (zap per play, subscriptions, ad sponsored….)
So much potential in all these new NIPs!
For storage, we really need to build a decentralised solution there too. Perhaps some type of encrypted database sharding where you get paid in sats relative to how much disk space you can offer, how fast your connection is, and how reliable you are.
This would incentivise people to take part and the data sharding approach means no single node can see the contents of files (they'd be spread across multiple nodes).
