Music creators, your app security rights are about to change forever.
In an industry where predatory contracts have long been the norm, a revolutionary approach to my app security is emerging. Following our recent coverage of innovative music revenue streams, Kesha’s new app Smash is setting unprecedented standards for artist protection and creative rights management.
As a performer who’s navigated both the classical and pop music worlds, I’ve witnessed countless artists lose control over their work through murky contracts. During my time at Stanford’s CCRMA, I’ve seen how technology can either exploit or empower creators – it all depends on who holds the keys to security.
Revolutionizing Creator Rights Through App Security
Pop icon Kesha is transforming the music industry with Smash, a groundbreaking app that prioritizes creator security and fair compensation. The platform’s innovative contract system lets artists maintain control over their work while collaborating safely.
With backing from Google Maps co-founder Lars Rasmussen and former Apple engineer Alan Cannistraro as CTO, Smash implements transparent smart contracts that protect artists’ rights. Musicians can set their own terms, whether it’s licensing beats for fixed fees or negotiating royalty percentages.
Drawing from her own battles with predatory contracts, Kesha designed Smash to give artists unprecedented control. The app recently demonstrated its potential through a remix contest where winners received industry-standard fees and retained their rights – a stark contrast to traditional exploitative deals.
Your Creative Future Starts Now
The music industry stands at a turning point where technology finally empowers instead of exploits. With platforms like Smash leading the way, artists can collaborate freely while maintaining control of their work. What rights would you prioritize in your next creative collaboration?
