\u00a0The Musicgroups Network was created in the late 90’s as an answer to NAPSTER and music Monopolies.<\/h4>\n

The idea, Musicians and artists should have control over their own material and fate. Our systems were made to promote independent artists and protected their music. We developed a complete online music platform that could be licensed by other sites and eventually hosted thousands of bands and musicians. Our goal has always been to help musicians and artists earn a living.<\/p>\n

Building a cooperative Ecosystem for bands, musicians and the music Industry was never an easy goal. We delivered,\u00a0 the first license to Rock.com in 2003 and eventually moved everyone to a new platform. Funds ran out before we could launch.<\/p>\n

\n

The goal,<\/strong> specifically to create a login free, tracking free environment that promotes fresh music across many sites to help artists grow and sell direct!\u00a0 Then we planed to build systems to develop Indie tours, and other aspects a only cooperative can achieve.<\/p>\n

Over the years lot of developers had hands out, not many ever rolled up sleeves! Tech is changing an Ai might just finish this concept. Parts and pieces are all ready for a team!<\/p>\n

Our systems have no match on the web, not from advanced ideas. More from the idea of shared resources, reduced costs and sustainable goals! We are doing everything possible to get the old technologies updated to modern standards.<\/p>\n

We need your help please spread the word!<\/p>\n

20+ years – It’s time for a rebuild! A full system reset! Next step is a BLOCKCHAIN and NFT!!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our team has gone up and down like a roller coaster, but the project is still alive! We are building a unique de-centralized cooperative music system based on a blockchain framework and NFT coin. Every aspects is built to protect artist sales and create sustainable income. Our plan is to open source everything!<\/p>\n

We are the OG of artist social media platforms. Our systems were meant to be de-centralized in the 1990’s and our version of W3 kept the artists in charge of their IP. So many funded music systems fell to the monopolies. How many were made to help artists sell and promote? Here we are still fighting!<\/p>\n

We missed a lot of targets along the way but the vision lives on. The true test of a co-op is to see who’s building the tools needed to create bridges for the many islands on the wwweb.<\/p>\n

OPEN SOURCE IS THE WAY!<\/p>\n

Think of a suite of dedicated tools like google’s apps that are built into your site seamless, automatically promoting you to an expanding network of hundreds or thousands of music sites.<\/p>\n

Our goals are simple, create Win-Win-Win scenarios for everyone involved! By creating a sustainable ecosystem, on that framework we can recycle the best ‘web developments’ and provide a seamless API for sites to join.<\/p>\n

Adding a blockchain and NFT solution for tracking music sales and commissions is topping our to do list! Top goal is to build real income and growth for artists. By helping artists grow, tour and find A&R.<\/p>\n

A policed music network free of scams, bots and fraudsters, helping renew faith in the web!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Develop privacy and security in the framework from day one; not as an afterthought!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • With only a few dozen businesses onboard, we can build any technology and scale to any size.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • All win because of the sustainable nature of our business model creating cloud apps and API shared services.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Every aspect will be dedicated specifically to the music business and generating sales.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Every band and business that promotes on our site will help build a network they will co-own!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We need sales teams, managers, fans and lots of artists! Wanna see proof? Time to open Pandora’s box!!<\/h4>\n

    OUR HISTORY<\/h3>\r\n
    \r\n\t

    The Musicgroups Network was created in the late 90's as an answer to monopolistic music systems locking out the independent bands and musicians. We developed a complete web based music system that could be licensed by other sites and eventually hosted thousands of bands and musicians offering weeks of free music in a free jukebox. Our system was made to promote artists and protected their music. Our goal then and today is to help musicians and artists earn a living!! To build a cooperative network that creates its own Eco system for the bands, musicians, clubs, fans and the music industry!<\/p>\r\n

    We delivered, the first license to rock.com and was eventually shut down from a complete lack of concern for indie's..to focus on the major labels. That was 2003, it took a lot out of the project. I rebuilt the systems and move all the music and artists to IndieMusicCorner.com and ran it for many years. Financially it was very hard, and currently the music system awaits our core foundation rebuild that's been in-progress for many years. Our set backs include hackers, broken web servers and complete lack of funding to support a team.<\/p>\r\n

    20 years later our goals to build a system that rewards artists with real income, sales people with real jobs and fans with tons of new music is getting closer! We still need a team.<\/p>\r\n

    We are completely re-developed this new site in live beta. We currently are focusing efforts on working with PR AGENCIES\u00a0 and A&R and LABELS to promote bands across the network of hundreds of music and art's sites. While the deeper aspects of our developments can be redesigned to modern standards, not an easy task.<\/p>\r\n

    Google, facebook, apple and yahoo have dominated the markets and we now give them complete power over our content. Our network goals are specifically to create a login free tracking free environment that promotes content and artists across hundreds of dedicated music and art sites, in a sustainable eco system. We need help, ideas and a team to make this happen!!<\/p>\r\n

    The network sites share technologies and working together like no other project on the web! Our new systems will have no match on the web because the monopolies can never turn back and will never give up the money they make from you!! They make money selling your info, music and forcing you to pay money to boost to your own content to your own audience. WTF!!<\/p>\r\n

    We just want a majority of the billions they pocket to go directly to our content creators, artists and sales people not wealthy investors and share holders!! We are doing everything possible to get these new technologies updated to modern standards,\u00a0 we need your help please spread the word today!<\/p>\r\n

    WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY!<\/h3>\r\n
    \r\n\t

    20+ years later and we are still here! We've outlasted hundreds of multi million dollar projects!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

    Our team has gone up and down like a roller coaster, very hard to say who's on board today as lots of 'hands' appear when money comes in...not so many when it's time to roll up sleeves and get stuff done! That's been the plague of this project, attacks by google, shady developers and companies that just want us to go away! While were building tools for any site to use and build off of.<\/p>\r\n

    We are building a unique cooperative music system and our plan is to open source it! Our L.A.M.P. developments pre-date google, amazon, myspace and youtube. So many great music systems fell to the monopolies and label buyouts. Those projects with thousands of development hours can be saved and continued in our network cloud that's whats unique. Thinks of a google suite of apps that work seamlessly on your dot com, while expanding across a network of sites 100 and later 1000's each 100% dedicated to helping promote artists.<\/p>\r\n

    Building a new type of web solution from the ground up is no small task. Solid (derived from \"social linked data\") is a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications, Solid is modular and extensible and it relies on existing W3C standards. \u00a0Our plan was to always support the WC3 semantic web and now we are proud to adopt the Solid framework ASAP!<\/p>\r\n

    While this is quite complicated it's badly needed for a free web that supports it's creators; not the mega monopolies. Our goals are simple, create Win Win Win scenarios for everyone involved! By creating a sustainable ecosystem for everyone in the network. We can recycle the best of\u00a0 'lost web developments' that made the WWW great in the first place. Add a blockchain for tracking both music sales, ad sales and commissions - Create seamless one click promotions on thousands of sites and pages instantly. Build income and growth working directly with the vendors and artists.<\/p>\r\n

    A music network policed by the network for scams and fraudsters, helping renew faith in the web!<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n
    • Developing privacy and security into the framework from day one; not as a afterthought!<\/li>\r\n
    • With only a few dozen business onboard we could build any technology and scale to any size.<\/li>\r\n
    • Everyone gains because of the sustainable nature of our business model cloud apps and shared services.<\/li>\r\n
    • Every aspect will be dedicated specifically for the music business and making sales.<\/li>\r\n
    • Every band and business that promotes on our site will help to build a network they will co-own!<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      Yes it's different, Yes it login free, Yes our goal is to pay 80+% to artists across the board! 50% to sales people and and make it free\/login free for most users!<\/p>\r\n

      We need sales teams, managers, fans and lots of artists! Wanna see proof? Time to open Pandora's box!!<\/p>\r\n
