Blockchain Revolution

Digital Content Management System
Nor is Colu, a digital content management platform based on bitcoin blockchain
technology. It provides developers and enterprises with tools for accessing and
managing digital assets including copyright, event tickets, and gift cards—much of
what a truly distributed music industry would need. Colu has partnered with music
technology leader Revelator to build a rights management application programming
interface (API). The goal is to realize what Imogen Heap and Zoë Keating were
imagining—the demystification of rights ownership, digital distribution, and actual
usage. The API will also provide incumbents a means of providing the much-called-
for transparency and efficiency. “We are very excited about the potential for Colu’s
platform to simplify the management of music rights, starting with those associated
with songwriters and their compositions,” said Bruno Guez, founder and CEO of
Revelator. “Colu has made the complex technology of the blockchain accessible for
integrations into platforms like ours, and we’re looking forward to exploring all the
ways it can improve service to our clients.”
