Music Ownership for YouTube Creators

Stop Renting Your Music. Start Owning It.

For years, you've paid for music licenses—a business expense with zero return. Artyfile is changing the game. We empower professional YouTubers to transform their soundtrack from a sunk cost into a revenue-generating asset. Own a share of your music and earn passive income from its global success.

Your Music Budget is a Black Hole of Wasted Potential

Think about it. Every subscription fee, every single-track license... it's money you'll never see again. You're renting access to a creative tool, but you're building zero equity. While your videos generate revenue, the music you pay for remains a constant, unrecoverable expense.

Traditional licensing platforms are built on this one-way transaction. They provide a service, you pay, and the relationship ends there. This model leaves creators powerless, perpetually paying for assets they can never truly own or benefit from financially. It's a system designed for renting, not for building value.

What if every track you licensed wasn't just an expense, but an investment in a real asset? What if your channel's success could be amplified by owning a piece of the music that defines your brand?

Artyfile: Beyond Licensing, Into True Music Ownership

Artyfile is the first platform designed for the creator economy. We offer exclusive, world-class music, but with a revolutionary twist. Our Artyfile Limited Editions grant you a legal share of a song's master rights, secured on the blockchain as a Music NFT.

This isn't a gimmick. It's a fundamental shift in power. When you acquire a Limited Edition, you become a co-owner. You earn real, passive income from the track's global revenue—every stream on Spotify, every use in an ad, every play on another creator's YouTube channel. Your music budget stops being a cost center and starts becoming a portfolio of revenue-generating assets.

Purchase a share of the master rights (via Music NFT) with a simple one-time payment.

Your Questions About Music Ownership Answered

What exactly am I buying with a "Limited Edition"?

You are buying two things at once: 1) A perpetual, worldwide sync license to use the high-quality music in your content. 2) A fractional share (e.g., 1%) of the song's master rights, represented by a Music NFT. This NFT is your verifiable proof of ownership and is what entitles you to a share of the song's global earnings.

Is this a secure investment? How can I trust the tracking?

Yes. Your ownership is recorded immutably on the Ethereum blockchain, the most secure and established network for digital assets. All revenue collection and distribution is managed through this transparent system, providing an auditable trail of earnings that traditional licensing can't match. You see what we see.

Can I lose money?

As with any asset, the value can fluctuate. However, unlike a simple license fee which is a 100% sunk cost, a music asset has the potential to generate revenue over its lifetime, potentially paying for itself and generating profit. It diversifies your income streams beyond just your channel's ad revenue.

Can I sell my ownership share later?

Yes. Because your ownership is a Music NFT, you have the freedom to sell or transfer it on third-party marketplaces like OpenSea. This provides liquidity and makes it a true, tradable asset, unlike a standard music license which cannot be resold.
