# indiemusi.ch Lexicon
2
+
3
+
This is a prototype and a first proposal on how to represent and save music and
4
+
its metadata on the AT Protocol. We see a lot of potential in giving artists the
5
+
power to host their tracks on their personal PDS, from where music and streaming
6
+
services can consume it to offer services to music listeners.
7
+
8
+
The suggested lexicons are routed in the practice of a cooperative of musicians,
9
+
[Red Brick Records](https://www.redbrickrecords.ch/), who release their own
10
+
music with a DIY attitude combined with a solid administrative setup. A good
11
+
understanding about copyright and master recording royalties leads to well
12
+
maintained and clean data and helps collecting the financial rewards of
13
+
releasing music.
14
+
15
+
We propose a set of lexicons that:
16
+
17
+
- invites to upload music with clean and complete royalties data
18
+
- makes a clear distinction between the copyright of the song and te master
19
+
rights of the recording of that song
20
+
- includes music industry standard metadata like ISRC ISWC, IPI, GTIN, etc.
21
+
- makes it possible to connect all royalty owners with theit ATProto dids
22
+
23
+
Future ideas:
24
+
25
+
- flows for rights owners and copyright collecting societies to confirm and
26
+
verify the correctness of the registered data
27
+
- uploading audio files: we would like to avoid unfair use of music and would
28
+
suggest encryption of the audio files on the PDS. Artists would register their
29
+
music with streaming providers by exchanging encryption/decryption keys with
30
+
them over the AT Protocol. Streaming providers can offer different business
31
+
models to artists and artists would choose on which providers they want to
32
+
offer their tracks. Streaming providers can have trust that there is no
33
+
copyright infringement on the uploaded tracks, by reading the verification and
34
+
confirmation data or labels by copyright owners and collecting societies.
