1.1 Introduction

Blockchain technology is frequently called the new internet that can advance the form of various enterprises. The music business is no particular exception in that regard and is important for artists who want to get paid for their creative work. Blockchain vows to give authority back to content creators by providing a proper distribution channel. Here, the concept gives a platform where they will have the freedom to get valued data and be paid rightfully [1].

1.1.1 Need of Change in Music Industry

The emergence of the internet and music streaming platforms has changed the industry altogether. As a result, the value chain restructuring has accelerated the rise of various music streaming platforms [2].
Figure 1.1 portrays how the shipment of CDs has dropped over time whereas, on the other hand, Figure 1.2 illustrates the increase in the revenue from online streaming platforms over the last decade [3].
The figure shows the decrease in CD shipments from 1999 to 2018.
Figure 1.1 Retail value of CD shipment in the US
The figure shows the bar graph where the revenue of streaming platforms increased from 0.5 billion to 7.4 from the year 2010 to 2018.
Figure 1.2 Revenue from music streaming platforms
This change affects everybody in the music business, such as artists, labels, distributors, lyricists, and streaming service providers. The strategy by which music eminences are determined has consistently been a tangled one. Nonetheless, the ascent of internet use has made it significantly more intricate.
The unique limitations and prerequisites of the modern age music industry represent some significant difficulties to accomplish a straightforward procedure. One of the hurdles is the heterogeneity of the included actors, partners, and the existing management models. It also includes various degrees of privacy, thus leading to the absence of transparency [3].
Figure 1.3 clarifies the progression of the artist’s licensed innovation with every one of the players associated with the creative process prior to distribution.
It shows the property flow from artist to consumer, which also includes engineer, record label, distributors, and retailers in between.
Figure 1.3 Intellectual property flow.
  • Artist: Provides creative content to the music industry.
  • Recording Engineer: Handles the technical aspect of the recording process.
  • Record Label: Provides different marketing campaigns and promotional strategies for the creative work of artists. They are responsible for the final products, such as music albums.
  • Distributors: Provides the market to the creatives. They are responsible for the sale of albums.
  • Retailers: They are the ones who sell the physical copies of the creative work of the artists. Different streaming platforms can also be considered modern-day retailers.
  • Consumers: The final element of the chain.
The music business is driven by purposeful misdirection – merchants and record labels are generally not ready to reveal who claims the rights to what music, in what region, and what sort of utilization. In the interim, fundamental data inform deals between content makers and mediators (for example, marks, distributors, and spilling administrations). Figure 1.4 shows the traditional flow of royalty payments. In this antiquated framework, the middle people take value-based charges with no practical present-day support, and royalty payments are frequently postponed [4].
The figure elaborates the property flow from artist to consumers, investors, and advertising companies and the royalty flow in vice-versa order.

1.1.2 Challenges Faced by the Music Industry

Because of an absence of straightforwardness, creatives working in the business face plenty of issues. There are three central points of interest:
  1. Firstly, there is no unified information base that archives the ownership rights to a melody and connecting them to a specific artist. All things being equal, there are different data sets, none altogether far-reaching. Fundamentally, when the work is co-possessed data might vary, starting with one information base then onto the next, with no focal power to resolve any struggles.
  2. Secondly, payments are slow, and the distribution of the royalty is not transparent. Particularly for international owners, it takes years for royalties to reach the bank accounts of the rightful owners.
  3. The third issue is that impressive sums are regularly paid to some unacceptable party and critical assets of sovereignty income end up outside the artist’s scope. Here the meriting proprietors of sovereignty income really shouldn’t still be up in the air as a result of an absence of an industry-wide framework [5].
  4. The fourth issue is the absence of transparency in the value chain.
This digital platform gives rise to transparency in royalty distribution and payment [6]. This is where the blockchain will come into the picture. With many users on the internet, blockchain technology will help maintain a distributed music database with proper ownership in a public ledger. In addition to this, smart contracts will be used for a royalty payment, maintaining transparency and fairness.

1.2 Introduction to Blockchain

Blockchain can be illustrated as a data structure that holds value-based records, ensures security, straightforwardness, and decentralization. As shown in Figure 1.5, the data/information is recorded in an open ledger, recording every transaction taking place. Blockchain is a sequence of records or blocks that are linked together using cryptographic methods. A decentralized organization doesn’t need any transitional element. The information about each trade anytime completed in the blockchain is shared and open to all hubs. This property makes the structure more straightforward than bringing together exchanges including an outsider [7]. For instance, consider that object A needs to send cash to protest B on the organization. To finish this exchange, an initial block is created which contains every bit of the information. This block is then communicated on the web for approval. At the point when approved, this block is added to the chain, and thus the conditional interaction is finished.
This shows the block diagram of blockchain, which contains three blocks connecting with each other
Figure 1.5 Blockchain technology.
This innovation shines bright after the broad acknowledgment of Bitcoin, the absolute first digital cryptocurrency, has become one of the most discussed topics in today’s technological world [8]. Every exchange on a blockchain is secured with a digital signal that demonstrates its genuineness. Because of the utilization of encryption and computerized signatures, the information stored in the blockchain is carefully designed and can’t be changed. In plain ...
