The Complex World of Music Licensing and Royalties, Simplified @ Blokur

I was kindly invited to speak to the lovely folks at Venturi on their technology podcast to discuss the wild world of music rights and royalties - which is what I spend my time working on at Blokur.

I had a great time and really enjoyed the conversation. Among other topics, we discussed:

• How the internet has revolutionised the way we consume music
• Why the royalty flow back to artists and creators is broken
• How Blokur connects the dots between rights holders, creators and music users
• The culture we are trying to foster at Blokur
• A discussion of some of the cutting edge technologies we are working with at Blokur.
