EOS is a Cryptocurrency developed by Dan Larimer that has many of the properties of Steem but also will be more capable of running various applications, smart contracts, etc. Although I am not a competent programmer I have an idea that may be worth investigating. If a programmer, more competent and dedicated than myself would write an application to run on top of the EOS platform that would accept MP3 files, encrypt them, offer them for sale, take in funds, send a major portion of the funds to the MP3 originator/artist, send a small portion to the originator of the program, send the decrypted file to the purchaser, and receive votes on the validity of the MP3 files so only the original artist receive funds. I believe this would give Amazon and Apple competition in this marketing space. It would not need to be limited to MP3 files, but could be used for any digital media. Perhaps EOS will one day distribute music, movies, digital books, and software.
If you have an idea to expand on this leave a note below.
