Hi Everyone,
I'm presenting a proposal on a topic that is very important to me: media, content, and decentralized distribution. As a documentary filmmaker, I’ve been following this topic since 2015. The year after, I had the chance to participate in the Singularity DTV crowdfunding, a platform for decentralised ownership of content, and started to follow the project and others similar, as they come and go.
With these experiences, some perplexity came around. A decade after smart contracts, we still lack an appropriate solution for decentralised media distribution that defends content creators. I’m summarising a complex issue that, if it were easy to resolve, would have been addressed by now.
The crux of the matter is that to do this properly, we need a new format for content distribution, one that incorporates smart contracts to mediate access. Content should be accessible to any agent, regardless of the application he uses.
A new format resolves the access issue and addresses other key concerns:
— Allow content owners to move content from one to another [decentralised] storage options.
— Distribute revenue to wallets defined by copyright holders, AIs or DAOs, software owners, or creators of remixed content.
— Identification of AI-generated content.
— Allow disputes on the nature and propriety of the content.
— Enable AI to create, own, manage, and distribute content.
— Scale distribution for high demands when the storage fails.
— Offer an alternative business model to cutting-edge tools for audio and video productions.
I want to share the document where the Invisible Hand Lab team has the specifications for the OpenMedia Tools Tools and the 3AV format. These tools will be used as a part of the Kineranet work stack, which can be found here.
As a self-funded team, we deeply value all contributions and constructive feedback. If you share our vision and are interested in testing use cases for media communities or DAOs, we invite you to join our Discord channel. We’re always eager to welcome enthusiastic individuals and hear their insights.
Thank you for your time.
