 @a0b872c9 they do but why use the systems we already have when metadata exists. the PRS and PPL can be replaced with software easily. the money should just go to whatever is playing.

 @a226b6cc in theory, yes, but the vested interests fight that...successfully

 @a0b872c9 havent seen a system that does it yet, but you could plug and play that within a day and get rid of the PRS and PPL.

 @a226b6cc sure, the tech is straightforward, it's the cultural and economic stuff that is hard...

 @a0b872c9 by cultural do you mean large business trying to protect its interest ? im not sure what you mean. economically it makes sense for the artists. its a no brainer. just waiting for someone to write the software in a way i can support (ie decentralised database)

 @a226b6cc both sides: big business certainly fighting against it, artists brought up to assume they need big business...

 @a0b872c9 mmm yeh dumb artists will be a problem up until they figure out how much they could have made i suppose. i think one clever PR campaign could ruin them tbh. get spotify on board and they are dead.
