How can software that cannot be altered last 1000 years though? The environment is changing... I don't think there's any software from even 30 years ago that could run unchanged on any of my devices. I think there's a path with this stack but I don't see how you get there unless you have some way to do maintenance and upgrades.

Or maybe the immutable on-chain piece is just the contract with artists and there could be various players that are developed by proprietary groups (e.g. centrally hosted clients pointing at decentralized data, like how most daaps work). I guess then you still get into the bandcamp scenario where your favorite player gets bought, but data abuot you transactions would still be there... that would get us half way there. I wonder if artists would agree to store music essentially for free in a public-ish place -- I think that would be a requirement of this architecture. In some ways they already do that with bandcamp (you can stream whatever for free, but not download files unless you buy), but this would be kind of a new level where you could technically download all the files. Something tells me it would still work for artists because I think the bandcamp audience is there largely because they want to buy the music directly. spitballing!
