As NFTs have gained popularity, <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/technology\/crypto\/how-to-avoid-nft-scams-7780989\/\">scam sites are becoming more common<\/a>. These sites use strategies like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.in\/cryptocurrency\/news\/squid-game-cryptocurrency-trading-at-to-0-scammers-make-2-1-million\/articleshow\/87479063.cms\">\u201crug pull\u201d<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/technology\/crypto\/ozzy-osbourne-nft-scam-cryptobatz-followers-duped-off-thousands-of-dollars-7739620\/\">phishing scams via social media<\/a> to drain cyptocurrency from fans\u2019 wallets.

In addition, music NFT marketplaces, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protocol.com\/fintech\/royal-nft-music-3lau\">such as Royal<\/a>, enable musical works to be <a href=\"https:\/\/utopiagenesis.medium.com\/music-tokenization-how-it-will-change-music-industry-and-why-you-should-care-3c6fe847bf\">tokenized<\/a> and monetized, giving fans unique ownership over music.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional music industry has long experienced issues with artists not receiving their deserved share of revenue from their music, which is split between various people including record labels and producers. Moreover, with music consumption shifting primarily to digital via streaming sites during the pandemic, artists were found to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iposgoode.ca\/2021\/05\/the-battle-of-the-streaming-giants\/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=the-battle-of-the-streaming-giants\">paid as little as $0.0033 USD per stream<\/a>\u2014that is 250 streams to earn a dollar. NFTs offer a potential solution to this longstanding problem.\u00a0By cutting out the streaming platforms and selling directly to fans, NFTs allow artists to receive most of the revenue from their work.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2021\/10\/29\/nfts-music-industry\/\">decentralized fan-funding platform<\/a> is particularly beneficial to new artists since it helps them mint their first NFTs and establish a consistent demand for their works. Through the platform, musicians can raise the amount of money they would have received as an advance from a major label. Additionally, famous artists like Snoop Dogg have used NFTs to improve their relationship with fans and explore new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustnodes.com\/2021\/09\/25\/snoop-dogg-parties-on-metaverse-with-nfts\">creative opportunities<\/a> to engage with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concerns Regarding Music NFTs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the upsides, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterandmusic.com\/analyzing-fan-sentiment-of-music-nft-drops\/#:~:text=Mixed%20reactions%20to%20music%20NFTs,the%20perception%20of%20being%20scammed.\">artists and their fanbases remain apprehensive about NFTs<\/a>, especially as they continue to grapple with issues of unauthorized use. Within a week of the HitPiece controversy, users exposed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandwagon.asia\/articles\/nft-music-stream-cryptocurrency-fake-nft-scam-youtube-api-data-february-2022\">another NFT platform<\/a> offering artists\u2019 music on its site without their permission.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, works being turned into NFTs already exist in other forms, so individuals should be careful when making use of these works as an NFT and consider <a href=\"https:\/\/edwardslaw.ca\/blog\/nfts-non-fungible-tokens-an-intro-into-relevant-legal-considerations\/\">the involvement of third parties<\/a>. Whenever dealing with third parties that own or control works, individuals must ensure that the third party has provided the rights necessary for the work to be included in an NFT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking Forward <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NFTs could enable the creation of valuable works in the music industry and provide artists with the opportunity to interact and engage with their audience in novel ways. However, scam NFT sites like HitPiece.com show how easily copyright infringement can occur, turning some of the primary advantages of music NFTs on their head. Therefore, respective trade organizations ought to respond to scams with a speed that matches that of the growing NFT market. As we continue to traverse through the early world of NFTs, riddled with unanswered questions, users and creators must continue to keep relevant legal considerations in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2140,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,65,60,291],"tags":[2216,27,125,4376,3504,4377,3730,4300],"class_list":["post-39251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogs","category-copyright","category-ip","category-music","tag-artists","tag-copyright","tag-copyright-infringement","tag-hitpiece","tag-music-2","tag-musicians","tag-nft","tag-sally-yoon"],"yoast_head":"<!--
