I apologize if this got transmitted in the inappropriate form.

Could you share your perspective on what would be the most productive terms for the independent musicians and what all would you expect them to entail?

If you have to ask, you should not be doing this.

Honestly, sometimes I wonder that too... since most independent musicians are broke and underappreciated, it might be better to start a crypto project..

But there is still little hope (I hope)

If you were really on the independent musicians side, the default should always be that they retain all rights to their own work. That is what was attractive about Bandcamp for musicians, they were merely a payment processor.

This is already the case (see the response above).

Is there anything else in particular that you would find important to address?

It's not stated anywhere, either in the response above or on the website (that I can find).
