RE: BitLendingClub Shuts Down Under Regulatory Pressure
I for one would be interested in posts about copyright issues, especially about posts on Steemit. As a musician who plays covers (other musicians compositions), copyright is problematic because of the expense and legal hastle involved just to play a song. With the music business in a complete state of disarray and confusion, the arrival of the blockchain may provide solutions by eliminating the myriad middlemen who profit from collecting $ for the musicians and taking a cut. A blockchain with smart contracts could provide direct remuneration to the artist.
Steemit has enough worries as it is, but it would be great if I could play a cover and have a correct percentage of Steemit rewards go to paying the copyright owners. Steemit would be in competeition with Spotify, iTunes and other organizations, but a blockchain solution might simplify things, hopefully;))
