dotMusic / Music.us |
music (dotMusic) is a proposed generic top-level domain
(gTLD) in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet, intended for the music community and music web
sites.
The dotMusic initiative was based on a 2001 Top Business Plan at
the USC Entrepreneur
Program that was awarded to Constantine Roussos by the
university.[1]
Constantine Roussos, the founder of Music.us and Music.mobi,
announced in 2005 that the music gTLD would become a sponsored top-level domain
similar to mobi, travel, and other existing
gTLDs.
The dotMusic initiative will be sponsored by Music.us. It has
the goal to help the music community brand itself as well as to
monetize the concept using the platform that the sponsoring
organization Music.us will include with each music
registration.
The proposed domain will be powered by the Music.us and
Music.mobi 360-degree Solution Platform and Entertainment
Commercial Marketplace, which will enable the music community to
provide their music services and products to their target
audiences. Revenue streams will include downloads, advertising
revenue sharing, donations, ticketing, sponsorships, merchandising,
licensing, live PPV broadcasting, paid booking of engagements.
Artists may bundle downloads, tickets and merchandising together
without dealing with holding inventory, production, or
shipping.
