# Solution Overview
**Privy Labs Protocol (PLP)** is a sophisticated, decentralized anti-piracy protocol (PLP) designed to protect paywalled content. 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://privy-labs.gitbook.io/privy-labs-protocol-whitepaper-v-1.0/privy-labs-protocol/solution-overview.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
