***The beauty of blockchain may also be its downfall. ***
The rights of everyone are held safe and visible in the blockchain.
However, with, as my previous article mentions, 5 semi-successful blockchain music startups how does one manage their rights over all platforms?
Verification is already a massive problem on platforms with high uploading frequency like d.Sound.
D.sound struggles to find all music that is misusing rights.
With platforms like Musicoin not getting the amounts of uploads they would otherwise get because of an extensive pre-uploading verification process.
How would one solve this problem? Perhaps a shared rights confirmation system, to make sure songs aren't stolen. A blockchain perhaps?
The more blockchains aiming to solve the same problem. The bigger the problem becomes. How does one for example check the rights of a song when it is uploaded under a different name? Most blockchain don't record the frequencies belonging to the music in the blockchain itself.
This is a discussing affecting all musicians. Bigger and smaller. Please let me know what you think about all of this.

Is this a widespread problem? Do creators often discover their original content used by unauthorised people? But perhaps most importantly, what can I do if this were to happen to me?

Hey thanks for the support! Yeah it definitely is unfortunately. Currently I am seeing that the problem is largest for big name labels. Songs are being reuploaded, unrightently used in videos. However, I can imagine and have also seen examples of songs from smaller artists are reuploaded. Even under different names (which is the scariest in my opinion).
As to what you can do about it, you can flag the uploads. The difficulty is, especially with smaller name artists, actually finding the reuploads. At the current moment there is not much you can do to easily find these reuploads but I will be on the case as soon as I find one!

Thanks for raising your voice about this issue. For musicians there is rarely something more scary than when someone steals a track and republishes it as their own. :/
