If content creators get paid, copyright material gets paid too. Everyone wins.

I agree! I also agree with you that blockchain technology is the answer to solve this issue. As a matter of fact I believe blockchain technology is the answer to anything when it comes to any sort of payments. It’s not “IF”, it’s “WHEN” this happens. I’m also really happy to see steempay, it’s only confirming what I believe will eventually happen. I wouldn’t be surprised 😮 if in few years Steem would be known all over the world just as well as bitcoin. Can’t wait for SMT’s to finally come out. It’s really exciting, the expectation, everything...
