    What is a JV in music?
    Joint Venture Deals: The word 'joint' implies a joining of forces by a major label and an indie label, whereby they agree to share responsibility for the making of records and for the marketing and promotion of those records. ... In return, the independent label will pay a royalty to the major label for each record sold.

    I don't think blockchain would remove the need for auditing. It would enable immutable contracts yet, but auditing the company's figures would still be required to make sure the contracts are being honored accurately.

    Love to understand what filmmakers can take away from this. The term 'indie' filmmaker is deemed as someone not making money. How can a filmmaker therefore own the means of operation and successfully navigate all means of both the Production and Distribution?

    Ppl want the accolades ppl want the awards and the acceptance you get from being in the major label system. I doubt that will ever change. Plus, expecting everyone to be on point with their business is unrealistic. Of course now that we’re having these convos more artists will be self sufficient. Major labels just need to give better contracts. Contracts are horrible.
