IPFS and the Decentralized Music ArchiveHow Indie Artists Can Host Their Entire Catalog, Serve Every Kind of Fan, and Build a Real LegacyFor decades, independent artists were handed advice that sounded helpful but quietly worked against them. Upload your music to platforms. Share a link. Trust the system to take care of the rest. On the surface, that sounds reasonable. In practice, it put your entire career inside systems you never controlled. Dropbox links expire or get buried. SoundCloud accounts get capped, throttled, or flagged. Platforms change pricing, remove features, rewrite terms, or simply decide your music no longer fits their priorities. Meanwhile, your catalog, which might represent twenty or thirty years of creative work, ends up scattered across services that can disappear, lock you out, or change the rules overnight. http://www.makingascene.org
