it got a million singles, you could get royalties of around 45,000 dollars.

you don’t get 45k, you get 36 dollars, enough to buy a nice pizza.

So Imogen Heap, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, is now putting music on a blockchain ecosystem.
所以伊莫金·希普，一位荣获格莱美奖的创作歌手，现在把音乐发表在一个区块链的生态系统上。

She describes that the song becomes a business.
她描述道，歌曲成为了商业。
It’s out there on this platform marketing itself, protecting the rights of the author,

并且因为歌曲采用了一种类似于银行账户的支付系统，
all the money flows back to the artist, and they control the industry, rather than these powerful intermediaries.
所有的钱都会到艺术家的手中，他们掌控了行业，而不是由那些强大的中间商所控制。
