I guess we are not sure what that might look like yet; but it seems to me it might be possible to leverage crowd funding with SMTs, and get each new production, album or release funded directly by those that are looking forward to seeing it.
After hearing Ned talk last night in SF, I think it makes sense that Steem could be a far superior option to Ethereum for ICO type sales in general.
