What if folks signed their work with a private PGP key and published their public key? If you wanted to submit a DMCA request, simply sign a message to prove you’re the content owner. It seems like that could work.
- mulmen 9mo agoHow does that prove I am the original author? Can't I just download a work and sign it as my own?
- cebert 9mo agoLet’s consider a scenario where you’ve published a video with a public key, and you have a history of using that key for publishing your work. If someone else were to download that video, they wouldn’t be able to sign it because they lack the key. I believe the same principle applies to PDFs and ebooks.
- mulmen 9mo agoThey wouldn’t be able to sign it as me but they could sign it as themselves, taking credit. My question is what mechanism proves the video is signed by the rightful owner?
