Alarm signals inside the music curation protocol ... Who pays the royalties?

Regards people ...

As you've might read the title this #blog will debate something very sensitive ... a subject on which even the big #whales are not paying attention ...

I know the truth always shakes the spirits and it's not so welcomed ...

Therefore ... here we go with a composition of mine in 11/8 ...

I see lots of people who are presenting "cover" songs and actually the #whales are upvoting them without knowing that the #blockchain does not pay the #royalties of those composers or bands that actually own those songs ...

Did you knew that this is not legal? And still people are posting #cover songs like they are their own properties AND they earn #hbd for them ...

Therefore, #hive #blockchain should pay attention on what means to be "the creator/composer" of your composition ...

It's cool this protocol of supporting #creativity through the program of #diy but be wise, and , understand the legal and true protocols through which this might be able to function inside a so called #blockchain ...

You can be the arranger of any song from this world, as long as you have the consent of the real owner of the song you've chose and to have it signed to a company that has your contract with each ones signatures and the percentage shared after this agreement ...

At this moment you cannot count on the fact that this New World out there, which transcends through interesting protocols of transformation, has the right to offer, through it's illusoric way of considering everything to become "decentralized" so you can post cover songs just like that, without having the arranged score signed with a company that protects the royalties, of both sides, the arranger ( you) and the real owner of the song ...

It's not like on some other artistic products, like for instance, you buy the #lego set and after that you can become creative, by using those pieces on which you have the rights to do that, so you can create totally new stories ... or even you can become a representative of that artistic format through the endorsement protocol ...

I did this with my #music as well ...

Even if #lego would be considered as a hobby, it's still a contemporary way of expression for myself and my children, and, we pay for every lego set, of pieces and after that we are the owners, and we can create and expand our imagination limitless ...

Same with #art of #music ...

The funky part that triggers i guess lots of original artists from this new #blockchain is the fact that you are composing your own songs, you are presenting them through music blockchain platforms and still #cover songs played in a questionable way most of the cases( ooops ... i know this won't be welcomed but is the true fact) :-) are getting #upvotes and #hbd in return ...

Is this world totally ... ? I don't want to say this phrase but you know which might be ...

So, #whales arround this spectrum start to think about the cover music presented inside the new #crypto space as a non-legal way of exposure and the most important thing is that the #royalties are not paid to those artists who own those compositions ... ok?

I know this might shock a lot of people from this so called artistic world ... but soon or later some people must say things that are the TRUTH which as i've mentioned above ... won't be embraced by those who are supporting this trend of exposing #cover music ...

Meanwhile, you'll might do a good thing to support artists on https://musicoin.org/artist/0xd65e91f0336d0da7eff433be621bd6cd1fcfaa65 platform or on https://vibravid.io/userprofile/ElBalkumbero or directly on #spotify ...

I've created #spotify #playlists with music of my fellow artists arround this platform which is invaded everyday with original songs ...

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/72CF8T3ibHLe5aS6glYLdA?si=L5tMre0qR4WS-_SD09cbFw

#share #listen original music and through this way a genuine format of a new musical world will grow ...

I think only those artists who are composing/arranging on others compositions and have registered their scores on BMI or Sacem or UCMR-ADA which are legal institution who are protecting musicians royalties, will be in a legal format of having the rights to perform that music ...

It's clear now to understand this issue?

Thanks for reading my short #blog ...

Ciao a tutti!

Enjoy my latest live streamed concert with this awesome musical project
