New musical technology is always used to break the law. When the first pre-Revolutionary gramophones appeared in Russia, criminals quickly adapted, using two turntables to pirate hit songs. Although the Soviets removed most profit incentives, bootleg recordings were still extraordinarily important. Most famously, an industrial lack of vinyl led to «музыка на костях», т.е. на рентгеновских снимках. As бытовые магнитофоны became available, popular domestic and Western albums were copied onto катушки и кассеты, after which they were sold in shadowy corners of the Soviet Union with total disdain for both local and international intellectual property. More technically gifted pirates were even able to generate vinyl bootlegs. In the same way, radio was plundered for illegal purposes. Soviet citizens taped and distributed recordings of shows by the BBC Russian Service, Voice of America, Radio Luxemburg and more. Logically enough, bootlegged live shows followed soon after––long before digitization made bad behavior even easier.

To a surprisingly large degree, that timeline mirrors the Anglo-American experience, from the unlawful duplication of discs in record factories of the 1920s, through pirate radio after World War II to illicit mixtapes or live recordings of 1970s and beyond. By the 1980s, video cassettes and affordable players were threatening cinemas, and today, the internet undermines revenue for musicians, filmmakers, authors, and game designers. It’s a problem of human nature, rather than of technology.

Nowadays, web3 technology and have become especially (i.e., temporarily) worrisome. AI threatens Hollywood’s musicians and screenwriters, while web3, aiming to decentralize the music industry with cryptocurrencies, leads to new risks: Ponzi schemes, phishing, intellectual property theft, money laundering, and even terrorist financing. Marketplace jeopardy is always present and on the Russian marketplace today we see the following, current causes for concern:

Lack of Transparency

Issue: Royalties, licensing, and revenue-sharing models are often opaque, leading to disputes and mistrust between artists, producers, and labels.

Impact: Artists frequently feel underpaid or unaware of how their earnings are calculated.

Piracy and Copyright Enforcement

Issue: Piracy remains a significant problem, with widespread unauthorized distribution of music.

Impact: Loss of revenue for artists and labels, making it harder to invest in new talent.

Limited Monetization Opportunities

Issue: A significant portion of music consumption occurs on platforms like Vkontakte (VK) or YouTube, which may not provide competitive payouts to artists.

Impact: Artists struggle to achieve sustainable income through traditional channels.

Fragmented Market

Issue: The industry is regionally fragmented, with smaller cities and rural areas often underserved by mainstream platforms or promotions.

Impact: Limited access to diverse audiences and talent outside major cities.

Dependence on Gatekeepers

Issue: Labels and radio stations hold significant power, making it difficult for independent artists to break through without substantial backing.

Impact: Limits diversity and innovation within the industry.

Censorship and Restrictions

Issue: Government regulations and censorship can hinder creative freedom and limit the topics artists feel safe addressing.

Impact: Artists may self-censor, reducing the industry’s global competitiveness.

Transparency as a Selling Point

Opportunity: Building systems that ensure clear and fair revenue distribution could attract both artists and fans who value accountability.

Monetization Beyond Streaming

Opportunity: Expanding revenue streams through innovative platforms or direct-to-fan models can provide sustainable income for artists.

Engaging Underserved Markets

Opportunity: Developing tools or platforms tailored to smaller cities and regions can help unlock new audiences and talent.

Support for Independent Artists

Opportunity: Offering decentralized tools and services could empower independent artists to bypass traditional gatekeepers.

Creative Freedom in New Spaces

Opportunity: Platforms that prioritize artist autonomy could attract creatives who want to explore topics beyond mainstream limitations.

Transparent Revenue Sharing

Solution: Smart contracts on blockchain platforms can automate and transparently distribute royalties in real-time, ensuring artists get their fair share.

Example: An artist uploads their music as an NFT, and every stream or resale triggers automatic royalty payments.

Combatting Piracy

Solution: Music NFTs with embedded ownership rights can act as proof of authenticity, incentivizing fans to purchase legitimate versions.

Example: Offering exclusive content or experiences to NFT holders encourages fans to support official releases.

Direct-to-Fan Monetization

Solution: Web3 enables artists to sell music, merchandise, or concert tickets directly to fans using decentralized platforms.

Example: An artist could crowdfund an album by offering tokenized ownership stakes or exclusive perks.

Decentralized Platforms

Solution: Create platforms that operate without centralized control, allowing artists to bypass traditional gatekeepers and connect directly with audiences.

Example: DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) for community-driven decision-making on which artists or projects to support.

Global Reach and Inclusion

Solution: Web3 platforms are inherently global, allowing Russian artists to access international audiences and funding without relying on traditional systems.

Example: A Russian indie artist could launch a global campaign for their album using blockchain crowdfunding.

Resilience to Censorship

Solution: Decentralized storage and distribution systems can help artists share their work without fear of censorship or platform bans.

Example: Using IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) for hosting music and NFTs ensures that content cannot be easily taken down.

Every disruptive technology has eventually laid the foundation for a thriving industry. The same is happening with web3—in other words across a decentralized internet operating without middlemen that, when used properly, gives artists greater control, fairer pay, and fosters closer bonds with fans. That focus on fan engagement already fuels projects like Openstage, Vault, Chorus, and WeVerse, identifying superfans who actively support artists such as Taylor Swift to great effect. Their broadly distributed networks are vital for her marketing and data research. How, though, to incentivize both musicians and their most ardent followers to collaborate this way, in avoidance of a greedy industry?

The Key Benefits of Web3 for Music

Decentralization and Ownership
Decentralization reduces corporate constraints and gives musicians greater autonomy. In collaboration with a dynamic, appropriately incentivized fanbase, artists gain more upfront revenue, and flexible monetization options. They pay lower rates than to traditional partners, open up new marketing/promotional channels, and get substantially more control over licensing.

Blockchain Technology
In any decentralized web3 community, blockchains store unchangeable records each time music is bought, sold, played, accessed, etc. This allows musicians to safely sell or license their own catalog, knowing they may now do business in so-called “trustless” markets. All documentation is cryptographically secure. It is impossible to falsify ownership rights, usage data, or licensing terms, while payments to artists for each license or stream are instant.

NFTs as Digital Assets
Each of these musical compositions is represented as an NFT—a unique, verifiable asset on the blockchain containing all copyright and royalty details––in fact all necessary legal information. This cannot be falsified, either. An MP3 or WAV file with an NFT token therefore becomes a one-off asset, not something to be endlessly copied. It creates its own transparent, tamper-proof record of authenticity and provenance. Major auction houses already use similar methods to preserve the history––and thus value––of unique art: where it came from, who owned it, etc. Like any digital asset, it may be copied, but the original and its proven ownership/provenance are never replicated.

Instead of distributing music through countless intermediaries who leave artists with pennies, a new strategy can create scarcity. FFMP, a web3 initiative with zero commission fees, returns 100% of proceeds to artists. Through its use of blockchains, FFMP records each rare track’s creation, legal ownership, royalty splits, and usage 24/7, while the NFTs establish verifiable scarcity, allowing artists to get more upfront income by selling or leasing unique tokens. Superfans will even pay for partial/temporary ownership of rare recordings and benefit from an artist’s success––if those one-off compositions are bundled with additional, appealing forms of utility and growing worth. Here are some services or benefits a performer could offer a superfan together with that uncommon recording:

Exclusive communities: Access to fan events, streams, or behind-the-scenes content

Special experiences: Exclusive Q&As, early ticket access, and more

Royalties: a percentage of royalties for future releases (until fans sell their share)

Dynamic libraries: VIP access to future releases

Legacy content: Access to archival works, which multiply with an artist’s growing discography

Visual art: Additional content, such as the special edition of a forthcoming album.

 All these benefits mature in value as an artist is more successful, especially because NFTs can be resold for profit, with an artist receiving a fixed resale percentage each and every time of 5-10%. Forever.

IN SUMMARY

FFMP gives superfans verifiable ownership of rare music collectibles, akin to exclusive art

It empowers fans to support artists financially in a collectible, tradable format

It takes money from an industry and gives to artists

It helps them to raise money faster and generate invaluable data

It runs according to fan-centric principles of collaboration and mutual benefit

It ensures secure, transparent transactions through blockchains

It establishes immutable digital provenance, offering proof of authenticity.

Running a web3 record label is not necessarily a contradiction in terms—it is a reimagining of what a record label can be in a decentralized, blockchain-powered digital era. Web3 technologies can address some of the traditional music industry’s pain points (like lack of transparency and control) while introducing new challenges and opportunities. Here’s how one might approach matters:

Define the Mission

Decentralization vs. Traditional Roles: Decide whether your label will operate as a fully decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) or maintain some centralized elements.

Empowering Artists: Emphasize artist ownership and control over their music, revenues, and fan relationships.

Community Focus: Build a community-centric approach that gives fans more involvement and value.

Leverage Blockchain for Transparency

Smart Contracts: Use smart contracts to automate royalty splits and licensing agreements, ensuring fair and transparent payments to artists and contributors.

Provenance and Ownership: Mint music and related assets as NFTs to establish clear ownership and authenticity.

Revenue Tracking: Track streams, sales, and royalties using blockchain to provide real-time updates to stakeholders.

Engage Fans Directly

Tokenized Economies: Launch a token for the label or for individual artists. These tokens can offer perks like early access to music, voting on creative decisions, or profit-sharing. (We do not use tokens, but appreciate their potential value.)

Exclusive Content: Use NFTs to sell or auction rare and collectible music assets, concert tickets, or experiences.

Fan DAOs: Create fan-driven DAOs where token holders have a say in certain label or artist-related decisions.

Rethink Revenue Streams

NFTs: Sell albums, singles, and related content as NFTs, with royalties baked into secondary sales.

Fractional Ownership: Allow fans to invest in and own a share of an artist’s music catalog or future earnings through fractionalized NFTs.

Metaverse: Monetize performances, merch, and experiences in virtual environments.

Foster Collaboration

Creative Autonomy: Support artists with tools and resources but avoid micromanaging their creativity.

Partnerships: Collaborate with platforms and protocols that align with your vision, such as streaming services with blockchain integration or music NFT marketplaces.

Overcome Challenges

Education: Educate artists and fans about web3 concepts, ensuring they understand and trust the new systems.

Adoption Barriers: Simplify the user experience by integrating wallet-free onboarding and fiat payment options where possible.

Legal Compliance: Navigate intellectual property, copyright, and securities laws in the web3 context carefully.

Build Community and Identity

Storytelling: Articulate a compelling narrative about why your label exists and how it differs from traditional models.

Community Governance: Allow artists, fans, and other stakeholders to participate in decision-making through DAOs or other structures.

Social Media & Discord: Use platforms like Twitter, Discord, and Reddit to foster active engagement and a sense of belonging.
