      title = {Blockchain Technology : The Blueprint For Rebuilding The  Music Industry?},
      abstract = {The  purpose  of  this  Note  is  to  provide  an   in-depth analysis  of  the  problems  the  music  industry   is  facing in  order  to demonstrate  why  applying   blockchain  technology  is  an  insufficient resolution.  The Note will also propose two alternative recommendations  and  argue  for  adopting  those  blueprints  instead.  The   Note  unfolds  in three parts. Part I examines the ongoing  struggles of the music business and  its  failed  attempts   to  remedy  them.  Part  II  provides  a  primer  for  blockchain  technology,  featuring  a  discussion  of   emerging  use  cases, and  evaluates  whether  implementing   blockchain  technology  is  a  viable solution  for  the   music  industry.  The  final  portion  offers  two   proposals prescribing more   suitable   measures   Congress    can   undertake   and explores   the   only   possible    value   that   the   industry   can   currently extrapolate  from blockchains: tokenization.},
