@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself No I haven't said that at all. I don't believe in filtering. We have a solution, one of many in the world that could help provide some answers to some problems. Please show me where I said this. I've never said I approved of filtering because I don't believe it can work.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself I've never once said I support filtering. We don't do it. I support the idea that we need to force change in the status quo or the current monopolies will further cinch up all access to media. I personally think it's horrible that smaller developers cannot access media.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself Our entire solution was designed to establish balance so that artists could easily provide their works to developers who can provide it to users, without years of lengthy negotiations and millions in advances...yet artists get paid and everyone continues making their memes.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself The current model is simply unsustainable where you have 80k apps submitted each month from 20m developers and only a select few like Facebook can afford to access music for use in UGC. That's wrong. We wanted to create something better that gave everyone what they wanted.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself Many artists who travel in the same circles as Cory are looking to technologies like blockchain, which I feel will likely lead to a very dangerous new layer of DRM. I don't support this at all. We don't employ any DRM, we just make it easy to access media with rights approved.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself I believe you should be able to make things without fear of takedowns or lawsuits. I believe obtaining permission to do this should be so easy and simple it works like magic. This is how we approached the solution...that everything should work as it does now, just better.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself In fact our technology does this for music, photos, video...it works simultaneously with standard copyright and Creative Commons. It automates the process of locating, sourcing, delivering, clearing all the works, and then preserves the metadata so it doesn't disappear.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself You can combine a video from someone like Getty, an image from Flickr with @creativecommons, a music track from a major artist on a major label into a new work of user generated content. All assets compatable, all data preserved, rights cleared, no takedowns...in seconds.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself @creativecommons There's no theft or piracy. It auto-attributes all the posted works and allows for re-use with a single tap. In fact our tech can deliver an asset from the open web, into an app, with all the rights cleared...faster than you can steal it.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself @creativecommons In this video I'm in a social media app with our kit in it. It grabs a music track, two files from Getty, and a @creativecommons image from Flickr. The app combines all the assets into a new UGC work. All the rights respected and auto attribution on the other side. No takedowns.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself @creativecommons There is no fingerprinting or filtering. No AI. Artist can choose whether or not any of this is monetized. We respect people wishes to use solutions like @creativecommons so we we built support to automate attribution. It's all done with anonymity and privacy.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself @creativecommons If @doctorow were using it & wants his work free to use & adapt, fine. He can also not use it at all. We're not forcing anyone. I am simply interested in helping to build better solutions that serve not just media, but developers, & users, & without tracking or profiling.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself @creativecommons Our tech doesn't use advertising and frankly cannot. All users have anonymity and privacy. There are no accounts, no usernames, no passwords. There's no one single server company (host your files where you want). We also do not store or touch binary files.
@GenesisMachines @NC_Matthews @doctorow @crispinhunt @boggits @jkdegen @neilhimself @creativecommons We completely rethought the model of how copyright works with technology and built something that worked within it and beyond. But if you want to just take a pot shot at us and mock us, okay then.
But you could alternately keep an open mind.
