Music

Problem:

Musicians face issues with unclear ownership, unauthorized use, and lack of real-time royalty tracking, especially across streaming platforms, social media, and generative AI systems.

How Creation Rights Solves This:

Creation Rights Management (CRM):

• Register: You as a musician upload your original track and metadata to the system, which logs it on a Provenance Graph, recording authorship, collaborators, samples used, and time of creation.
• License: They apply a Smart Licensing Template that defines how their music can be used (e.g., non-commercial remix allowed, commercial sync license required).
• Monetize: Revenue splits with producers, labels, or collaborators are embedded as Dynamic Metadata, enabling automated royalty distribution.

Creation Rights Exchange (CRX):

• Verification: A streaming platform or brand can verify licensing rights via CRX before using the track in a video, ad, or campaign.
• Enforcement: If unauthorized use occurs, the Content ID Layer detects sampling, copying, or transformation (e.g., music to video) and triggers rights enforcement or payment.
• Interoperability: Platforms and apps integrate CRM/CRX via SDKs/APIs, allowing usage tracking and licensing enforcement in real time, even across generative AI tools or metaverse platforms.

Example Scenario:

You are an independent artist who publishes a track with opt-out for AI training. Later, the Content ID Layer detects a deepfake music model using that track as training data. CRX records the violation and either blocks the use or triggers a monetization clause embedded in the smart license.
