The Bitcoin Blockchain Just Might Save The Music Industry...If Only We Could Understand It

http://www.forbes.com/sites/georgehoward/2015/05/17/the-bitcoin-blockchain-just-might-save-the-music-industry-if-only-we-could-understand-it/

The Bitcoin Blockchain just might save the music industry, but first we have to take the time to understand it. Admittedly, Bitcoin, generally, and the Blockchain, specifically, are not easily understood at first glance. However, the implications of the Bitcoin Blockchain not only for currency, but for intellectual property are too great not to expend the time and effort needed to see its applicability.

There is only one copy of every piece of so-called intellectual property in the digital age. If you sell that copy for 99 cents on iTunes, I've got no sympathy for you. The recording industry was a blip, it lasted less than a hundred years. When the laws of reality are against you, best to give in.

I didn't knew the music industry was in need of saving...
