Copyright shares, an idea to save the music business.

Hey.

Dunno if this idea has been discussed seriously ever, anywhere (probably is - world is large).

Create an easy system where people can buy in to become partial owner of a recorded musical piece.
Nothing is easy, I know.

It would create a situation where the people, who have bought a share, would be interested to promote it in the real world.

The grand problem is the promotion these days. Well, always has been and will be.

So, if a musician is sitting in a niche market and desperately tries to widen it, this could be a good idea to try out.

I would describe the idea a bit more but it seems like fantasy heh.
There are those crypto-tokens for such files but that feels kinda.. stupid and seriously limited. There the cash comes
from trading a piece of of a copy of a real thing - this system doesn't seem to become something really major.

Well, what do you think?

If you can get Taylor Swift to do one. It’ll be a good way to rip a bunch of people off until it all blows up, like penny stocks.

Probably less work to just apply at Starbucks.

I meant a share of the concrete recording. Separate from authorship of the notes+harmony+lyrics - thats the unsharable part.

And it surely would help a lot the less-famous people. If you already are selling enough, there is less and less reasons to go that road.

You can decide how big part of the share would go - like a typical investment then.

Also, doing this for a few songs would greatly help the rest of the musician's library.

Also, there is no restriction for making another recording that would trump the shared one
