Abstract

Copyright registrations in an open and accessible for-mat, in public blockchains, allow the mapping of open cultural resources and the creation of a positive public domain, as well as the development of applica-tions or services of interest to music creators and users that allow the direct distribution of royalties, such as an open base of NFTs, for example.An NFT is information registered on a blockchain. If such information is associated with an issuer that qualifies as a copyright holder, it may offer to third parties conditions for the use of its works or phono-grams that constitute real assignments of rights or licenses of use, through smart contracts. Such a legal structure makes it possible, therefore, the “NFT 2.0”, that is, the direct distribution of royalties, using non--fungible tokens over a layer of attribution of rights based on smart contracts.This paper offers a brief description of the legal struc-ture of the music market, with its main assets and forms of contracting, as well as a perfunctory analysis of the blockchain, smart contracts and other technological concepts necessary for the tokenization of works and phonograms as a means of direct distribution of royalties, finally proposing the adoption of an open ac-cess paradigm for the treatment of data and informa-tion on works and phonograms.
