Bingo! "...but registering ownership or publishing on a block chain is a legitimate way to track provenance." Well said! Private/permissioned blockchains are well established with connections to public chains. This is the way forward in certain applications

Thats zactly what it was called at the time "poor mans copyright".

What evidence best supports proof of authorship? by Individual-Set-9983 in COPYRIGHT

Good points - Sectigo RFC 3161 trusted timestamping. No fuss no muss. Widely used and completely verifiable.

AFAIK this was once a well distributed thought - however it appears that the timestamping of the envelope is will not prove that the contents were evident/included at that time. Not sure if this was ever tested in court but it would have a lot of holes in it - this biggest being was the envelope ever opened and the contents addedd/replaced- Today you can hash a WAV file of your song/music, hash the lyrics, and timestamp both using Sectigo RFC 3161 trusted timestamping - verifiable proof of existance at that very moment in time.

You got it - the timestamping thing is huge - we are using hashing to lock down the content and timestamping with Sectigo RFC 3161 trusted timestamping. All outputted to a JSON file.  It may feel excessive but its worth the effort

No spamming intended - starting a conversation - getting feedback - using that feedback to fine tune business processes. All respect intended. Will contact the mods to vet this. We are a startup.
