RE: DSound v0.3: Fixes to upload, Improved validations, New IPFS gateway, Tags without prefix, easy IPFS local node and much more!

in #dsound7 years ago

Wow! Iv'e never heard about Dsound but it sounds amazing. I gonna give it a try.

Also I would like to ask, if there is some rules like, you are not allowed to post tracks which don't belong to you
But are you allowed to post free soundtracks from the web?

It is not my first intention to do so, but I generally would like to share my music taste to other steemians! I like a undervalued music genre Hardstyle & uptempo which is a EDM sub genre.

I am going to look at the Dsound website, sounds awesome :D

Cheersss

Yea great question. What about copyrighted material? How will steemit prevent copywrite violations on this app? The legal questions do have me a bit worried. Also what are the rules for posting and labeling genres? I know that the tagging system on steemit is suffering from abusers, I just can't imagine what they will do with this app.

If it is a DJ mix, and it's your own, you'll find that the copyright owners of the featured tracks (if not mainstream) mostly won't give a fuck as long as you're not offering the unmixed tracks. Selling a mix is a different matter, but if it's on your shared mix, it's effectively free promotion so... Use your own judgement.

You may make money off your mixes but... It's pocket change, nobody will care. It's not like CD sale money from back in the day.

Dont upload tracks that are not yours... Make a post describing your musical taste and link the artist... You wont be able to make money uploading other peoples music, just forget about it...

If you copy content of others and publish it on DSound is the same thing as trying to make profit selling with goods that are not yours! Don't do it, or when it get's discovered your posts will be flagged and you will not get any payout and lose your reputation.

in a decentralized system it is up to the other users to do something about fraud and abuse. that is the power of the voting system. if its a serious problem then users should organize and make it unappealing to the abusers. that can be done through flagging and down voting. but remember this is the internet and it will resist any attempts at censorship or moderation. you currently coexist with all the copyright infringers and fake newsers online now so why not in this community?

i get its because they are getting rewards that other minnows work hard for. but if thats the case one could fork steemit and start a new platform which if based on the same technology will also catch on as users get dissatisfied with the increasingly saturated steemit platform.

If you post a track that violate copyright you will be flagged, you wont be able to monetize it and your reputation will be ruined... Its up to you if you really want to go that way...
Labeling is just common sense, just use the tag that better adjust your genre and thats it... Dont worry about abuse, if you see someone making abuse just flag it and report it on the discord chat... There are curators that are constantly checking the content...

exactly my thoughts!

Exactly! :)

Guys, you should not be uploading any music that is not yours or your interpretation of it... If you want to share your taste on music just make a simple blog post with the link to the music you like and add some value, its just not your music and you should not be monetizing it, it doesnt matter if its a free soundtrack from the web... If some artist decide to publish their tracks for free, its just not fair that you grab those tracks and make money from it...
