That's 20% of the royalty paid to Tao Records. That has nothing to do with the royalty paid to the artist.
Put the bong down.
PS: the revolutionary aspect of Tao is the fact that it actually has a profitable business model, which is revolutionary in crypto certainly.
Put the bong down. Classic white man, trying to tell a brothah what to do. Centralizing the music industry even more than it already is dawg, the world doesn't need this. Artists can distribute and charge for their content P2P now, catch up homie. No need for pointless middlemen making cheddah from the sweat and blood of others. Even if that middle man uses a blockchain.
peace
There's no centralization, at all. In fact, Tao can export content to other systems and still retain even that transaction. Imprisoning artists in a blockchain is exactly what privately funded attempts at this are intended to do. The claim is transparency, but it trades iron chains for blockchains and slavery is still slavery.
Edit to add: that it's open source means anyone can replicate what we are doing and start their own blockchain-based record label. What we offer is access to some of the best, brightest, and most successful engineers, publishers, composers, and producers in the last 20 years. All of us believe in the freedom of artists and desire them to have their rights upheld throughout their lifetime and beyond.
