BLOKZİNCİR TEKNOLOJİSİ VE NFT’LER: MÜZİK ENDÜSTRİSİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Amaç - En yeni teknolojilerden biri olan blokzincir teknolojisi değiştirilemez, şeffaf, ve güvenilir veri yönetimi altyapısı sunmaktadır. Blokzincir teknolojisi ile kullanımıhızla yaygınlaşan kripto varlıklar geleneksel sektörlerde dinamikleri hızla değiştirmektedir. Kripto varlık çeşitlerinden olan NFT’ler, özellikle 2020 yılı itibarı ile çok hızlıbir şekilde sanat endüstrisinde yaygınlaşmaya başlamıştır. Sanat endüstrisinin dijital teknolojilerle kesişiminde önemli bir dönüşüme neden olma potansiyeline sahipolan blokzincir teknolojisi ve NFT uygulamaları ile ilgili müzik endüstrisinde küresel çaplı bir uygulama ilk kez 2021 yılında hayata geçmiştir. Bu makalede NFT’lerinmüzik endüstrisinde kullanımının avantaj ve dezavantajları üzerine literatür taraması yapılarak, hayata geçirilen ilk uygulama üzerinden bir tartışma sunulmaktadır. Buaraştırma makalesi ile NFT uygulamalarının gelecek potansiyelinin tartışılarak teknoloji, sanat ve pazarlama bilim dallarının kesişiminde olan disiplinler arası bu alandaakademik literature katkı sağlamak amaçlanmaktadır.Metodoloji – Makalede yöntem olarak ikincil kaynak taraması ve örnek kullanım şekli incelemesi yapılmıştır. Kullanılan ikincil kaynaklar; blokzincir teknolojisi ve NFTkonularındaki kitap, makale ve çevrimiçi yayınları içermektedir. Müzik endüstrisinde uygulanan ilk ve küresel bir NFT projesi incelenerek, literatür tarama bulguları iletartışılmıştır.Bulgular- Müzik endüstrisinde NFT uygulamalarının eserlerin benzersizlik ispatı, telif hakları, yeni iş modelleri, dijital entegrasyon, ve güvenlik alanlarında avantajlarıbulunmaktadır. NFT’lerin blokzincir altyapısına bağlı olması, gizlilik sorunları, kulanıcı deneyimindeki zorluklar, ve yasal düzenlemeler olmaması NFT’lerindezavantajları olarak tanımlanan bulgulardır.Sonuç- İncelenen yayınlar ve örnek uygulama ile akademik alanyazında henüz fazla kaynak bulunmayan NFT uygulamalarının müzik endüstrisinde, ve bağlantılı ürünve hizmetlerde kullanımı incelenmiştir. NFT’lerin uygulanması ile ortaya çıkan yenilikler ve faydalar olmakla birlikte, bu uygulamaların hayata geçirilmesinin önündeengeller de bulunmaktadır. Bu makale, müzik endüstrisinde NFT kullanmanın avantaj ve dezavantajlarının bir tartışmasını sunmakta ve Türkçe akademik alanyazınakatkı sağlamaktadır. Müzik endüstrisinde önemli avantajlar sağlama potansiyeli olan NFT’lerin yaygınlaşmasının üreteceği sonuçlar takip edilerek araştırmalarladesteklenmelidir.

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND NFT’S: A REVIEW IN MUSIC INDUSTRY
Purpose- Blockchain technology, which is one of the newest technologies, offers an unchangeable, transparent, and reliable data management infrastructure. Crypto assets, the use of which is rapidly becoming widespread with blockchain technology, are changing the dynamics of many traditional industries. NFTs, one of the crypto asset types, have started to become widespread in the art industry very quickly, especially as of 2020. A global application in the music industry regarding blockchain technology and NFT applications, which has the potential to cause a significant transformation at the intersection of the art industry with digital technologies, was first implemented in 2021. In this article, a literature review is made on the advantages and disadvantages of the use of NFTs in the music industry, and a discussion is presented on the first application. With this research article, it is aimed to contribute to the academic literature in this interdisciplinary field, which is at the intersection of technology, art and marketing disciplines by discussing the future potential of NFT applications. Methodology- In the article, secondary source scanning and sample usage were examined as a method. Secondary sources used includes books, articles, and online publications on blockchain technology and NFTs. A first and global NFT project applied in the music industry is examined and discussed with literature review findings. Findings- NFT applications in the music industry have advantages in the areas of proof of uniqueness, copyrights, new business models, digital integration, and security. The fact that NFTs depend on the blockchain infrastructure they are developed, privacy issues, difficulties in user experience, and lack of legal regulations are the findings defined as disadvantages of NFTs. Conclusion- The use of NFT applications in the music industry and related products and services, which do not have many resources in the academic literature, has been examined through publications and internet resources, and a sample application. While there are innovations and benefits that come with the implementation of NFTs, there are also obstacles to the implementation of these applications. This article presents a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of using NFTs in the music industry and contributes to the Turkish academic literature. The results of the widespread use of NFTs, which have the potential to provide significant advantages in the music industry, should be followed and supported by research.
