So if I am launching a Spotify/Audible-style music/audiobook streaming platform, how will the pricing work out? Do we pay you instead of the original author for any user uploaded content? If the original author chooses to upload t

Some ETFs also allow easy investment in stocks of foreign countries without requiring additional brokerages on behalf of the end user. I presume this does not offer that functionality?

This looks great! Congrats on launching. We used to be in this space too. The most tricky part is performance, especially if you are backtesting against an algorithm instead of manual trading. Having to wait for the results on 30 years of t
