The running week (March 21-22) the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg will host a Blockchain & Music Hackathon. During this two day event registered participants will be taking part in a "Music Portfolio Challenge" to build a blockchain-based music platform. According to the website this will be the task at hand:
Create a decentralized platform for the registration and distribution of content (in our case: music) that certifies the authorship and license of any digital creation. The platform should be able to create unique signatures for every piece of content and verify rights and transactions with three basic functions: 1. Register content metadata 2. Issue smart contracts 3. Use of a cryptocurrency.
The above sounds very much like what we currently have in MUSE. Ok, lets take what they are trying to do at this hackathon and compare it to MUSE. The first goal of task one is to enable easy access and distribution of music. If we go to the MUSE website https://museblockchain.com we can find that it states.
