ArtStream is a website that allows creative content creators like artists, musicians, and filmmakers to advertise their work and crowdfund projects. It aims to change how creative people get paid by having people fund projects upfront and then download the completed content for free. It solves issues like lost revenue from piracy by giving creators guaranteed payment. Creators announce new projects and set funding goals, and if funded, complete the projects and make them available for free download. ArtStream takes a 10% commission from online concerts, art and craft sales, and crowdfunded projects.
2. What is ArtStream?
ArtStream is a website where creative content
creators (artists, musicians, film makers,
sculptures and etc.) have accounts that allow
them to advertise their activities to implement
their work and receive funding to create new
content by crowdfunding. We change the
way of how all creative people get reward for
their work: first people give money to fund for
example a new film or music album and then
when it is done they just download it for free.
3. What problems
we solve?
In the world of art, there are several important issues:
•With the development of the Internet people have
the opportunity to download music, movies and
games illegally for free. The creators of this content
began to lose money. Nothing that could radically
solve the problem was invented.
•Today art is a business and the activities of many
creative people are driven into a certain framework.
And quality of content suffer as never before because
of the dictates of the producers.
4. Its time to change the system
ArtStream - a project aimed at creating and
maintaining a new system of creation and distribution
of creative content.
Including:
•music
•movies
•video games
•paints
•sculptural works
•handicrafts
5. How does it work?
Example for music, movies and video games:
Old system
1. Creative content
creators invest their time /
money in the process of
creating something new
ArtStream system
1. Creative content
creators announces an
intention to create
something new and set
the amount of investment
required
6. Old system
2. Content Complete. Its
creators are trying to
make money by selling
copies or just spread it in
web for free.
ArtStream system
2. After gaining the
required number of funds
creative content is being
created and laid out for
free download on the
ArtStream website.
7. In result:
Old system
• Distributing of copies
bring not enough profit or
not give it at all. Content
creators are forced to
resort to cooperate with
the producer on
unfavorable terms.
=> Quality of newly created
content suffers.
ArtStream system
•
Content creators
guaranteed get paid for
their work and opportunity
to continue the successful
independent creative
activity depends only on
the value of the already
created content.
=> Humanity supports the
creativity of really talented
people without paying attention
to producers dictate.
8. Business model
• Providing artists, musicians, industry representatives
and other creative content creators with a
functional account for PR, streaming online
