Because our system represents extant authorship relationships (as opposed to creating a whole new first-to-file system like some other approaches in the space), we defer to existin…

Absolutely! Spotify's 30M settlement with NMPA is a great example of this kind of failure in existing systems

Declaring ownership and provenance with complete certainty is very hard, which is why we don't profess to do it. Our approach is to nondestructively aggregate potentially conflicti…

Filecoin is one of several proposed approaches for encouraging seeding ("pinning") in the IPFS network. In our network (Mediachain), we will probably start out by using tit-for-tat…
