Support Casper, Invest in "Survivors".

The song Survivors is a melodic electro pop song with a deep appreciation for human life. It is especially written for people who need support while dealing with chronic and acute illnesses. They are fighting to survive. They are the survivors. By supporting this song, you directly support the Support Casper project.

For 2 years I was struggling with pancreatitis and was hospitalized for many months. During this time I have met many kind people: doctors, nurses and roommates who struggled with their own illnesses and were often in a much worse condition than I was. I noticed that this world I lived in was very often invisible to the people from the outside world. In my song ‘Survivors’ I tried to capture this invisible world and share the tragedy, but also the beauty of living with an illness. I feel very lucky to create a ‘visible world’ through my music.”

What is AIP? And what is an NSO?

Artists, labels, and other song copyright owners can launch a New Share Offering (or NSO) to sell shares of future song earnings to music lovers and investors. With the tokenisation of songs AIP is the place where music fans become an essential part of the business of music. After the NSO period ends, the price per share is determined and the shares are ready for trading on the online trading platform. Therewith AIP is the global music exchange for trading royalty shares. Read more about AIP's NSO here.

What do I get in return for my investment?

With your investment you will buy shares of the song Survivors by Shook. During the NSO period 20% of the total value of the song Survivors is offered to the public. This is divided into 20,000 shares. During the NSO period we cumulate the total amount invested. 

With a simple calculation (total of investments/total shares = price per share) we now can determine the price per share. Next we can determine the number of shares you will receive from your invested free credit. 

After the NSO period you own shares of the song Survivors. This gives you the right to collect the future earnings of this song from your AIP account. The value of the shares consists of master recording and songwriting royalties generated by digital downloads, streaming. usage in Tv, commercials, games and broadcasting by radio stations. Actually, every time you push play on your streaming service, or add Survivors to a playlist, as a shareholder, you earn. 

What can I do with these shares? 

There are a lot of opportunities offered by the technology behind AIP.  First and far most you support your favorite artist by investing directly into a shared earnings construction. You now have a mutual business interest with the artist and song you invested in. Every time you listen to the song it generates revenue. Therefore every time you listen, you earn.

Start promoting the songs on your social channels and add it to as many playlists as possible. Grow the potential revenue and online reach by sharing the song as many online environments you can think of. Every effort you make will grow the potential revenue of the song and, as a shareholder, you can collect future earnings on AIP.

The shares you own have a value based on these future earnings of the corresponding song. We call these assets. Because of the current value of these assets (royalty revenue) and the future opportunities, there is a market for buying and selling these shares. Based on supply and demand every share has a dynamic trading price. AIP is the online platform (exchange) to buy and sell these shares. 

During the NSO period all the shares where divided over the investors, determining the price per share. After the NSO period ends, the trading is open to the public. As the demand for shares rises, the price per share will rise. This provides you the opportunity to start trading your shares, make smart investment decisions and start earning with your music (royalty) shares portfolio.. 

You can promote the song and collect royalties, but you can also promote the shares. Every new registrant you get on AIP will earn you an additional US$2 of free credit. Also (remember!) the more registrants are willing to buy shares, the higher the value of your shares will be. Start inviting your community and join the trade,
