At Kakr Labs, we recognize the transformative power of the internet in digitalizing content sharing. Inspired by early models like Sean Parker's Napster, we aim to take this digital revolution a step further. While platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube have reshaped music access, they operate under a contentious earnings distribution system. For instance, artists received just 12% of the music industry’s total income in 2017. Kakr Labs is poised to change this narrative.
The current landscape sees a significant portion of earnings (about 70%) going to music rights holders, leaving artists with a meager share. This is compounded by the inefficiencies of centralized models, which necessitate middlemen, leading to additional costs and reduced earnings for content creators.
Kakr streaming leverages peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions to directly connect artists with their audience, bypassing the need for intermediaries. This model is powered by cryptocurrency payments, circumventing the high fees associated with credit card transactions.
Our platform introduces micropayments, enabling users to pay small, reasonable amounts directly to artists as they stream music, watch movies, or read content. This approach not only makes transactions more affordable but also ensures a fairer distribution of earnings directly to content creators.
Micropayments offer an additional advantage in terms of data privacy. Traditional 'free' models often compromise user data, which is used for targeted advertising and shared with third parties. Kakr Labs eliminates this need by fostering a direct payment system, ensuring user privacy and giving consumers more control over their data.
At Kakr Labs, we are committed to redefining the entertainment industry. By empowering artists and providing users with a fair, transparent, and privacy-conscious platform, we are setting a new standard for how digital content is consumed and monetized. Join us in this exciting journey to reshape the world of digital entertainment.
