Those involved in the creation and interpretation of artistic works such as literature, music, dance, movies and television should have the right:
- To be unambiguously identified through machine readable codes that can be associated with their endeavors,
- To have their name and an unambiguous code associated with their endeavors when they elect to require this,
- For this association to be a technically robust binding so that it is hard to remove the association,
- To be able to license, or refuse to license, their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL – including their vocal timbre and style) for the creation of digital replicas,
- To have their name and unambiguous code robustly associated (when they require it) with digital replicas in a way that makes it clear that the replica uses the NIL of the creator but does not capture the creator themselves,
- To have an unambiguous code associated (when they require it) with each distinct authorized digital replica so that compliance with the relevant license can be ascertained,
- To be protected from digital replicas that assert or imply that they capture the creator themselves,
- To be protected from digital replicas that are not in compliance with the license conditions applicable to the identity of the relevant replica.
- To be protected from captures and digital replicas that are associated with names or codes that are incorrect, whether or not this is done in pursuit of gain by the party involved.
NOTE: some of these rights are close to rights that already exist in (for instance) implementations of the WIPO treaty protections for Rights Management Information (RMI) or implementations of moral rights. However, these existing rights are imperfectly implemented globally and are heavily circumscribed by (for instance in the case of the protection of RMI (termed Copyright Management Information) in the DMCA which effectively requires an act to “induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal an infringement of any right”.
