As a digital rights management system designed specifically for creators and the platforms that serve them, our anti-piracy framework puts privacy, safety, and control at the source of content. We believe re-establishing content creators’ full control over their content can help prevent and deter serious issues of photo misuse and abuse such as piracy and catfishing/impersonation. Privy's protocol **establishes and protects content rights with a public, verifiable, immutable certificate of ownership**, yielding creators indisputable ownership, traceability, and protection for every single image created. Our approach to design from the margins (for the most vulnerable of us) guided our decision to build a privacy-centric protocol, going above and beyond by using blockchain technology to ensure the accessibility of digital rights management solutions for all creators spanning the internet. Our three systems, the **Virtual Account System (VAS), the Content Tracing and Certificate System (CCTS), and Content Verification Network (CVN)** work together to create an open environment for creators to continue to create, verify, trace, own, and permission their work in a controlled manner regardless of where they designate to share their work or what the actual content of the work entails. As a result, we lay the groundwork for an **un-opinionated end-to-end creation, detection, and removal system –** one that could take the current DMCA processing time from hours to minutes.
