Thoughts on OpenSea

Volume is kind of a niche

We need to own a niche - 18k people we win
Fans and music taste don’t make money
  • Pay $10 for spotify
  • They want music on demand
  • Losing battle
Most artists make no money off streams and no glamour
  • Market values music at zero
  • Market values IP to use music in original work
    • Big ticket is LICENSING
    • The market for licensing if FULL of middlemen
      • It takes 6-18 months for licensing, why not 2 seconds?
  • Paction
    • Runs licensing of Universal Music Group
    • Wants to take existing contracts (contracts are written by hand) and put it on chain to send out payments instantly
    • “Sampling” is the Bored Ape equivalent
      • Kayne wants to use Ray Charles sample in the “Gold Digger” track
      • Kanye bids on Ray’s NFT to use as sample
        • Validators are paid to validate where the sample is used in the song, if there is not consensus then it fails.
      • Signs song to on-chain record label
  • What can be done now? Onboard without users touching ONE
  • H1 standard token
    • Sampling token
    • rights and royalty customization
    • sign rights to blockchain and maintain control to music
Where do we start?
  • Get someone with catalogues of music already
  • Start with sampling tool
