Why does MESA work for all music professionals? - MESA is built to simplify and secure the music creation and distribution process, empowering all music professionals—from songwriters and producers to managers and labels—with transparent, automated tools. By allowing detailed project notes, comments, and collaboration on multiple iterations, MESA ensures that the creative process is both efficient and secure. Whether you're an independent artist, part of a larger team, or managing multiple projects, MESA provides the transparency and control that every music professional needs in today’s decentralized music landscape.

In September 2024, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling that the Internet Archive’s book scanning program infringed copyright law, rejecting its "fair use" defense. The court found that scanning and lending digital copies without permission harmed authors’ ability to earn revenue. This case mirrors challenges in the music industry, where unauthorized digital reproductions and AI-generated content threaten artists’ rights. MESA uses blockchain technology to ensure musicians retain ownership and receive fair compensation, offering a solution to protect creators in the digital age.

The rise of AI-generated music presents both opportunities and challenges for the music industry. At MESA, we believe in the importance of maintaining the integrity of human creativity. Through the use of Web3 attestations and smart contracts, we ensure that the music distributed on our platform is authentic, original, and rightfully attributed to its human creators. As the industry evolves, we will continue to innovate and protect the interests of artists worldwide.
