The existing legal framework and its incompatibilities with the online environment do not provide sufficient protection to creators for their copyrights, especially to “smaller” contributors who lack the abilities to safeguard their Intellectual Property from being downloaded, altered or distributed without permission, and to monetize from their creation.
From a community perspective, whether content creator or content consumer, in the current climate of centralized digital distribution platforms (for example YouTube), users’ privacy is almost non-existent, as all centralized platforms keep track on their users’ searches and exploit their stored personal details for marketing and generating revenue.
The buttom line- today there are no truly decentralized open marketplaces with the components required for fair content distribution, content analysis, plagiarism check, and transparent search of indexed content, which is not manipulated by a central hub for generating ads revenue.
The Problems We Solve
Verification of IP & Copyrights
Due to the difficulties of enforcing copyright and IP laws over the internet, it is getting increasingly problematic to verify authenticity and ownership of distributed digital data, even if the content piece is tagged with a license. In countries with no central copy\right registration authority, it can be difficult for an author to prove when their work was created or to prove authenticity and ownership of intellectual property. NKOR can be used to form a method of registered dating as a highly trusted source to date intellectual property, thereby establishing that the creation was in one’s possession since a particular time.
Duplication of content
The same digital data can be uploaded by various entities claiming ownership of the content.
Non-existing privacy
The controlling content distribution platforms (such as Google, Twitter, Amazon) keep track of users’ searches and personal details, which are then exploited for advertising revenue.
Intermediaries
A centralized marketplace is dependent on intermediaries facilitating transactions between the participants, such as agents, legal institutes, or the services of the sharing platform itself.
Manipulation of exposure to content
Centralized content sharing platforms generate large portions of their revenue from ads displayed on content they deem profitable, which they in turn display more often to their captive audience.
Alterable time-stamping of digital content
When pictures are taken with a digital camera, the exact date and time of the shutter-release are recorded on the image file, along with other bits of metadata. However, the timestamps are only as accurate as the camera clock which may be easily modified or tampered with by a simple computer command and software.
