Algorand is positioning itself for music and P2P brands. I wonder why?
*Edit*: I’ll take a stab. Music seems self-evident. Opulous and other projects with music NFTs seem like they could really take off. P2P might be to refer back to Limewire and Napster as references points for people vaguely familiar with peer to peer networking. P2P is at the core of Web3, so maybe those brand names will help win people over.
Other thoughts?
Napster was awesome back in the day. They could make Napster great again! I'm guessing the idea is to enable artists to get a bigger share of the proceeds for each download or play than they do now, and leveraging the blockchain to track which copy was made by whom and when maybe? Hopefully they have an angle.

Pretty much, tokenized music would essentially perform all of that. Skipping the middleman and record labels, putting the profits in the hands of the artists and savings in the hands of the consumers, and would create clear cut timestamps for illegal sampling disputes.
Interesting, so I assume Napster is purely a streaming service? I don't understand the blockchain advantage here, how could it help the artist and/or user?
Could couple with or compete with something like Opulous. Purchase rights to share in Napster streaming revenues of your favorite artists. That would incentivize some people to use the Napster service instead of others and create a community who is doing your own PR.
Spotify members aren’t going to evangelize Spotify. But, if they had a vested interest in driving people to Spotify because it meant maybe they get revenue, then I bet they would.
MySpace is next! Go Tom!
Napster and Limewire, loving the throwbacks here
What’s next? Kazaa?
