Decentralized App (dApp) UI Mock Ups: Alvin Addo
SHARE is a new model built on blockchain that enables creators to use pay-for-access (PFA) smart contracts with their content. Rather than saying "what platform should I use to be able to get the terms I want", creators will just put the terms into the song.
With SHARE, each song (or other digital media) is a self-contained entity, on the public blockchain. The code executes on the Ethereum Virtual Machine, and streaming platforms will come to you. This is important because it means that in the future streaming platforms, through peer-to-peer decentralized distribution networks, will pay creators whatever they ask for.
