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.
Dawg, you be trippin. Uphold rights, but only if you get a cut? most successful engineers, shit dawg, who dis? you? you got a track record of constant failures, dat aint success. open source what? hopium? even in yo wall of bullshit you said you dont have the tech. I hear you sellin, but i aint see no product boo. Even if you bust a santa clause like miracle and make this shiz, we dont need masters, studios, producers or publishers, all we need is a slick laptop and deez nutz. wtf is a composer, you tryin to make some beethoven up in here? dats some straight up white boy music. what about the brothahs, working their asses off to get out of the hood, only to have some cracker with a stache rob them? just more of the same with some fancy buzzwords and you on top. fuck dat homie. 'takedown' 'execute', of course dawg, lets make things clear with legal mumbo jumbo. but its all g, dont hate the playa, hate the game, amirite?
Again, bong rips.
I'll explain it in small words.
We are doing this to show how it's done to develop the software to give away for free, open source, to anyone. People who want to go through us get access to individuals that make the music the whole world enjoys.
You can do it yourself or not. That's what open source means. That's its value. Any blockchain project that doesn't release all of its operational code open source is
what you are describing... but
