Content & authority protection

Protection layers

• Rights declaration & staff review — creators must declare authority; staff approves before public publication or licensing. Allow up to 48 hours for platform review after submission.
• Marketplace consent — each asset may opt in or opt out of the public marketplace. Opted-out works are excluded from marketplace surfaces; see Terms §6.
• Content ID (SHA-256) — approved assets enter a reference fingerprint library; new uploads are scanned for exact matches.
• Duplicate blocking — identical file hashes cannot be registered twice.
• Signed proof certificates — tamper-evident records; revoked on takedown.
• DMCA / abuse reports — statutory notices and general reports create claims and review queues.
• Copyright strikes — repeat infringers face upload suspension and account termination.

Marketplace listings

The marketplace shows preview-quality media only (not downloadable originals) unless a visitor purchases a license or receives approved access. Creators opt in via List in marketplace at asset creation or on the asset detail page.

• Default: consent is off for documents and video; visual art types default to opt-in.
• Denied assets are removed from /marketplace/ and home-page featured picks.
• Marketplace display does not replace licensing; commercial use still requires an explicit license or permission grant.
