How Blockchain is Disrupting Entertainment
Description:
For the entertainment industry, the transparent and immutable nature of the blockchain means that it can revolutionise the storage and distribution of content: whether that’s the media itself, the rights and IP around that media, or the access and payments associated with it.
In this panel session, we’ll look at how blockchain can link event ticket to unique identifiers to provide more security around access control, offer rights-holders and artists extra controls over secondary market resales (including access to a proportion of revenues), and tackle unethical behaviours in the secondary ticketing market to make fan experiences more fair.
