However, with so many platforms cropping up, the distribution process has become increasingly complex. Vydia is a tech start-up that helps musicians navigate the fragmented online content distribution framework. They work with over 170,000 artists to ensure that they maximize the money they make from their online content. In addition to making money, Vydia helps artists better understand the legal rights they have to their digital content.
