Censorship Resistance

With the ever-growing issues on centralized social media platforms such as censorship, @FiveStarGroup is taking advantage of a decentralized platform that is censorship resistant.

Decentralized Services and Rate Structure

Centralized services such as Spotify distribute payouts to artists from their music being streamed. They take a large percentage of the revenue and it goes to rights holders like the record label, publisher, and distributor. You can see the example below.

Now this chart above was from a couple years ago but I haven't found much of anything that shows that much changed to their model. You can see the list of rates from 2016 that services offer in this chart below.

Five Star Entertainment Gourp changing the way artists can get paid by utilizing a blockchain based payment structure. Taking advantage of the growing adoption of crypto-currency.

Using decentralized services such as @DSound, they are able to generate revenue by stake holders on the Steem blockchain. Listeners and supporters recieve curation rewards by supporting artist's music being that they are stakeholders and creating something other than the rate structures that centralized services have.

Increasing their stake on the Steem platform, will have the ability to generate their own revenue stream and also take advantage of the future addition of Smart Media Tokens.

It's true decentralization could be the key to shaking up the rigid structure of the music industry. It has been controlled by record labels and publishers for so long, they've had the systems in place that favor them. The artist rarely gets a fair shake. They can't negotiate for a fair shake until they've become successful and are deep into their career, when they finally have leverage.

On a side note thanks for the breakdown for artist pay on spotify, I've been curious about it.

Exactly, well said. Time to give more power to the artists.

I wish to be a part of this transformation... its going to change the industry for good, its a breakthrough for the industry@bitcoinparadise... i sing too, thats what my blog is mainly for, i ll be most grateful if you visit my blog, i promise you wont be disappointed

Decentralization is the way to go and this will be good for the artist, hope more artist join this movement

For sure. I'm sure we'll see more join the movement. Things are slowly changing and almost every industry will use blockchain in some form.

I'm very interested of what Facebook will do with cryptocurrency this year of 2018. I just can't wait :)

Yes, I wonder too. They got the money to do something so we'll have to see.

they wont take this lying down , they have cash and they will come guns blazing, recently Zuckerberg said he is studying cryptos and their impact in the future,

They will probably just release their own coin.

They are going to make a token system and have people use those tokens to buy goods and other stuff.

Crap goods of course, filled with plastic and pesticides and other chemicals. And the “other stuff” will likely add to credit card debts and similar things.

I see Facebook Cruises paid for on Facebook tokens in the near future.

The idea of taking it to the street is unique, that is where the flow lies, that is where the lyrics lies, that is where the audience lies..
Thumbs up, I can see it super big coming our way

Yeah it's going to be a game changer for sure. This is just the beginning :)

Keep the flag flying, there is no limit to what you cab achieve

I tried out Musicoin but it was difficult for me to do from my phone.

If it could be linked to Steem and this platform it would be so amazing!

Are we really only at .01 capacity of what our blockchain can do?

Yeah, I was really excited about Musicoin but when they announced that they are going with a Universal Basic Income model, I got rid of my Musicoin...

Can you tell me more about that or point me to an article?

I read about the Universal Basic Income model. Why did that make you get rid of your account?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

i love this revolution. i mean decentralization is actually the way forward for the industry and i hope many artistes joins the movement. good job @bitcoinparadise i love such nice post.

Yes, we are at the start of a new innovation even though blockchain has been around for almost a decade. Things will fall in place in time.

thats true. i love your work i mean am a fan.

oooo thats really good . taking the 5 star entertainment to the street. seeing current artistes in the 5 star entertainment makes it real good. music all the way @bitcoinparadise

Yes, they're making things happen.

I started studying musicology with the dream to change the musical field, which is, as you have stated dominated by a curculating group of musiciabs controlled by the same producing companies. We need to find a way to blow their monopoly away. I think steemit is a possibility for a lot of music related content! Interesting article and definately following you

Blockchain will definitely change that. Couldn't be a better blockchain to do that with than Steem. Social media + blockchain.

Nice post dear keep it up i follow you and upvote you

Thank you :)

This is absolutely AMAZING! How cool. This community just keeps impressing me.

Just you wait, there's more to come ;)

Oh yeah for sure. I'm digging around finding all these awesome projects :)
