Art and music
Illegal art auctions and music piracy has always been a challenge to the entertainment industry. Coupled with manager and record company commissions, a serious percentage of money has been stolen from artists. The blockchain provides a transparent system of direct payment to the artist from the consumer, and the use of unique signatures to store the identity of an art piece.
Maecenas is an open blockchain platform for accessing and auctioning fine art in a decentralized manner. Mycelia is an online music platform that pays artists directly from consumers.
