ISMM / Collective ownership
The label belongs to the people who make the music.
ISMM Collective is a simple way to see the relationship: artists bring the culture and the work, the collective stewards it together, and the Union’s shared resources keep the system moving.
Reading note: The percentages below are an illustrative static model for explaining the relationship. This repository contains no ISMM entity or approved stake data.

How to read this
Artists are the starting point. Their contributions feed the ISMM Collective, which acts as the shared stewardship layer. The stake model then makes room for artist participation, collective direction, community governance, and the operations that support all three.
