RE: My Take on Copyright Violations
One of the things early photo algorithms should have had is a way to track photos to their source.
There are so many good songs that I have found from ripped off sources. And then spent weeks trying to hunt down the real song/artist.
What we don't have on the internets is an actual way of getting ahold of artists.
We have had gatekeepers for so long, BMG etc, that we have no clue how to work without them.
Further, copyrights are going to go away. The internets will become much much more decentralized, and going after anyone will be like trying to kill a swarm, one fly at a time.
This is a very good point. So far I've yet to see any blockchain solutions comprehensively address this issue in a more widespread manner ..
What if you could link to photos from a site and pay for the consent of use? Would that work?
Sorta... and its sorta already done. There are sites that sell stock photos. And by stock, we mean anything that anyone uploaded that they thought would sell.
So, if that is what you mean, its been done. If that is not quite what you mean, by the time you got it ready for market, the internets will already be destroying copyright... its too late for that model.
