It sounds insane but this is what it has come to in the traditional music distribution space. Bad incentives create bad outcomes. But I truly believe #nostr publishing and sats as a filter / signal mechanism will solve most of these problems for independent artists. Until others are ready to leave the old and crazy world behind, we will keep building, zapping and writing music from the heart. View quoted note →

Back in the day some musicians would send their lyrics to themselves in a certified letter and keep it sealed. This provided a time stamp of a sort. It was known as a poor mans copyright. I was thinking that posting original music on nostr would serve the same purpose because it is decentralized. Sorry if off topic, the thought occurred to me when I saw your post.

Its exciting to see new apps and things being built for nostr and podcasting 2.0 and how these things can enhance the experience for both artists and fans. You have been in this space much longer than us and I am sure have seen much progress. Still lots more progress to be made but the infrastructure I think will prove to be superior than what most people are used to.

Copyright is automatic upon creation. Years ago I used to registered-mail music on CDR to myself before releasing which provided evidence of my claim if required.
