PledgeMusic is an online Direct-to-Fan music platform, launched in August 2009, that facilitates musicians reaching out to their fanbase (termed Pledgers) to pre-sell, market, and distribute music projects including recordings, music videos, and concerts. Broadly speaking it bears some similarities to such platforms as ArtistShare, Kickstarter, Indiegogo, RocketHub and Sellaband. == Features == PledgeMusic considers itself a direct-to-fan platform as opposed to a crowdfunding website. Features of PledgeMusic that distinguish it from other crowdfunding systems include that it: * is solely focused on raising funds for musicians * does not retain any ownership or rights to any music created through the platform * encourages artists to include contributions to charity as part of their fundraising project * absorbs all transaction processing costs involved in pledging on a project * encourages artists to offer a wide range of incentives and exclusive content to pledgers * does not process any funding transactions until the funding target is reached * is international, accepting artists, projects and pledgers from all over the world * allows pledger refunds PledgeMusic allows two distinct types of campaigns: direct-to-fan and preorder. In direct-to-fan campaigns, fans are not charged until the project target is reached, at which point money is collected in an "artist account" that holds the money for disbursement to the intended recipients. If a target is not reached, fans are not charged. In preorder campaigns, fans are charged immediately, and the artist is paid directly upon project completion, much like traditional online retail. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PledgeMusic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
