The vision for @Dequency_io has always been to modernize music sync licensing for audiovisual content, using the best technology available. Partnering with The Rights is a huge step in that direction. We are building infrastructure to make the clearance process smooth for both

There are many cases where “ask for forgiveness, not permission” is sound advice. Using music without a license - whether it's sampling or sync with video - is NOT one of those cases. It blows my mind that artists and labels still release songs without clearing samples. The

love the idea of redefining what makes a "charting" song — where it's not just big money + streams, but also fan engagement. bravo (as always) to @soundxyz_ for being thoughtful about this

The most interesting question at the moment to me is: "What can only be built with crypto?" These are novel user experiences that are unlocked by crypto, which aren't possible on traditional rails. Examples of "Only with crypto": @cryptothegame could have only bootstrapped

This is a data point that cannot be ignored as we speculate the outcome of the @UMG vs. @tiktok_us feud: Indie music is more culturally relevant than ever and growing YoY. Major label Universal is taking the position that its music is so crucial for the user experience that
Indie artists now account for 26% of Spotify streams. 2017→13% 2018→15% 2019→ 18% 2020→ 22% 2021→ 23% 2022→ 25% 2023 → 26% Non-major label artists just keep on eating up market share.

There are some interesting takes on the whole @tiktok_us/@UMG drama. Both companies have accused the other of being greedy and unfair, but instead of arguing over who the “bad guy” is in this situation, let’s take emotion out of it and look at the actual business dynamics.

Music licensing is complex, frustrating, and expensive... even for the biggest platforms in the world. OG @YouTube got sued and spent many millions to get compliant, build up their music department and develop Content ID. They blazed the trail for social media music use and
