RE: Is There A Soundcloud Type dApp On Hive?

in #hive2 years ago

I had a look at Audius and it looks really good. however, I found an article online that suggested that it had problems with people posting copyrighted material. The big problem is that they can't remove anything that breaks copyrights because it's on a blockchain, and I would guess that makes it very attractive to anyone who wants to earn crypto off of someone else's work. So perhaps a Soundcloud type dApp on hive may not be such a good idea!

Sort:  

Copyright material is going to be a problem with Blockchain, IPFS and BTFS in general. In theory we should be able to self moderate though, and potentially implement something like YouTube's Content ID to manage DMCA violations. I wonder if the @threespeak and @dtube folks have got answers about this already.

I wondered that. It's easy to lift a video from somewhere and post it. I haven't looked at any of the video dApps yet. I wonder if they have a problem with people uploading movies? I think YouTube still struggles to keep them off their platform. I guess it must happen to articles too. There's always someone who will pinch someone else's work no matter what format it's in.

That's an area I need to dig into a bit, I know the downvote system can be used, however it can result in retaliatory down votes.
