PSV BOOTCAMP MARCH 2023

BLOCKCHAIN/WEB3 FOR MUSICIANS AND JOURNALISTS

MARCH 6-17 ONLINE / FREE

HOSTED FROM UCLA TOGETHER WITH BLOCKCHAIN AT BERKELEY

This bootcamp will provide an overview of blockchain technologies and their potential applications in the music and media industries. We will begin by discussing traditional music royalties and copyright structures, with an emphasis on their historical development.

From there, we turn to effective blockchain use-cases in music and media production, including the creation of immutable record-keeping systems, enabling peer-to-peer transactions, and automating royalty payments through a listen-to-earn model. We will also explore the potential for blockchain in facilitating the licensing and distribution of creative works.

Students will have an opportunity to apply their understanding of these issues through a presentation or proof-of-concept final project. This will allow them to demonstrate understanding of the material and explore potentials for using blockchain in their own future work.

By the end of this course, students will have a solid understanding of blockchain technologies and how they can revolutionize the music and media industries. They will be able to critically evaluate the potential benefits and limitations of blockchain in various industry contexts and career settings.
