Canimus: A federated music publishing protocol for decentralized, independent music streaming
Summary
Canimus is a federated music publishing protocol designed to enable decentralized, platform-agnostic discovery and streaming of music.

The name derives from Latin meaning "we make music," and the protocol focuses on federated discovery rather than centralized control.
