 This is why I will keep telling musicians to build a node and self-host their music decentralized! #DeMu is the only #sovereignmusic 
 Nostr will find better solutions for music distribution. It needs to be nostr wide, or it’s pointless. 
 but that can already be done with RSS just like podcasting has been done for almost 2 decades. 
 A protocol could reward the entire chain of distribution; makers, infrastructure, marketers (reposts and curated lists)… if sats are exchanged 
 We already have something like that with the ValueBlock in the RSS feed. Here's the one from the last episode of BowlAfterBowl. Any sats sent to the show get split based off of the ValueBlock in the RSS feed. 

Some apps and services will add their own split or fee on top of this for their "cut" of the sats.

 I have high hopes for what will be developed but the Podcasting 2.0 protocol as it stands ROCKS. Keysend payments are invaluable because it allows value splits so every member of the band, producers, roadies, etc all receive sats when sent. RSS is a wonderful, simple protocol that is totally transparent and replaces the need for contracts entirely.
