The Domain of Music: Constantine Roussos on DotMusic's Big Win

What’s the official online home of Queen? It’s not Queen.com, it’s Queenonline.com. Kiss.com? Nothing to do with the band- it’s a dating website. Constantine Roussos imagines a better web experience, where artists can claim their own names and fans can find authentic content. He created DotMusic to fight for control of the .music top-level domain on behalf of the music community. What key innovations set .music apart from .com? Podcast host Dmitri Vietze caught up with Constantine at Midem in Cannes to find out how DotMusic won the battle, how registries, registrars, and registrants work, and how DotMusic’s policies align with the music community’s priorities.

Music Tectonics went to Midem! Podcast host Dmitri Vietze recorded interviews with Midemlab competitors and international music tech superstars, on the spot in Cannes.
