4. Know Your Artist (KYA)

  • Purpose of KYA: Dreamster Music implements the Know Your Artist (KYA) process to ensure the authenticity of artists on the platform and to prevent impersonation and fraudulent activities. This process is essential for maintaining the integrity of the platform and ensuring that all music uploaded is rightfully owned or licensed by the users posting it.
  • KYA Process
    • Initial Verification: To start the KYA process, artists are required to provide valid government-issued identification (e.g., passport, driver’s license) to verify their identity. This helps to ensure that each artist’s account corresponds to a real individual or a legally recognized entity.
    • Biographical Information: Artists must submit a brief biography outlining their music career, any affiliations with music labels, and other relevant professional details. This information will be used to create a profile that fans can view, which helps in building a genuine connection with the audience.
    • Proof of Music Ownership: Artists are required to provide proof of ownership or a legal licensing agreement for all music they wish to upload. This is to ensure that all content distributed through Dreamster Music is legally compliant with copyright laws.
    • Affiliation with Recording Labels: If signed to a recording label, artists must disclose this relationship and provide documentation from the label that authorizes them to distribute their music on Dreamster Music. This step is crucial to avoid copyright infringement and to respect contractual obligations with recording entities.
  • Ongoing Verification
    • Random Checks: Dreamster Music reserves the right to perform random checks on artist accounts to ensure ongoing compliance with our KYA policy. This may include requesting updated documentation or additional proof of identity or music ownership.
    • Update of Information: Artists are obligated to keep their KYA information current. This includes promptly updating any changes to their music label affiliations, contact information, or legal status.
  • Consequences of Non-Compliance
    • Account Suspension: Failure to comply with the KYA requirements, or providing false or misleading information during the KYA process, may result in temporary suspension or permanent termination of the artist’s account.
    • Legal Action: In cases of deliberate fraud or copyright infringement, Dreamster Music may take legal action to protect its users and reputation, as well as to uphold the integrity of the platform.
  • Privacy and Data Protection

5. Content Ownership and Rights

  • Use of Fingerprint Technology: Dreamster Music employs advanced fingerprint technology to analyze music data uploaded to the platform. This technology is used to ensure that the music does not infringe on any existing copyrights that may be associated with other recorded works. The fingerprint technology scans each upload to identify unique components of the music, comparing them against a global database that includes copyrighted materials, as well as records of International Standard Recording Codes (ISRC).
  • Verification of Licensed Music
    • ASCAP and Other Licensing Bodies: Music that is registered through licensing bodies such as the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) will undergo additional verification processes. When artists upload music that they claim to have licensed through ASCAP or similar entities, our platform cross-references this information with ASCAP’s databases to confirm the validity of the licenses.
    • Compliance Check: This step is crucial to ensure that all uploaded content adheres to legal standards and respects the rights of original copyright holders. Only after successful verification will the music be cleared for publication on the platform.
  • Tokenization and Blockchain Integration
    • Token Assignment: Upon successful upload and verification of the music, a unique token representing ownership and rights over the music is created. This token is then assigned to the content, serving as a digital certificate of authenticity and ownership.
    • Blockchain Storage: The tokens are stored on one of the following blockchains—Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, or Polygon Matic. These blockchains are chosen for their robust security features, wide adoption, and ability to handle transactions efficiently. The use of blockchain ensures that each token is secure, immutable, and transparently recorded, facilitating trust and ease of verification among users and potential buyers.
  • Rights of Artists and Users
    • Artist Rights: Artists retain all intellectual property rights to their music, except for the specific rights granted through the token for distribution and consumption on the platform. Artists have the right to withdraw their music and associated tokens, subject to the terms agreed upon at the time of upload.
    • User Rights: Users who purchase or stream music on Dreamster Music receive a license to access and enjoy the music as per the token’s stipulations. These rights are limited to personal, non-commercial use similar to Vinyl records, cassette tapes, or CDs unless otherwise specified in the token’s terms.
  • Responsibility and Liability: Dreamster Music takes proactive steps to ensure compliance with copyright laws but is not liable for any inadvertent copyright infringements committed by users or artists on the platform. Artists are responsible for ensuring that their uploads do not violate any copyrights or other rights of third parties.
