It is not easy to create high-quality content. That is why content with excellent quality is not cheap. However, it is easy to copy the content even in a limitless number of times with no incremental fee for each copy. Therefore, there should be some ways to for content creators to get their work promoted and distributed as much as possible. This goal can be achieved by reaching more people to ear the maximum percentage of revenue. To protect content creators and monetize their content, there are copyright laws.

The second option is more preferred by new photographers don’t acquire brand recognition.

Problems on Content Distribution

The ideal way for photographers to directly license their content to customers. The fact is that it’s very difficult for them to attract consumers in this way. Consumers will choose to buy content from larger marketplaces or agencies as the costumes have more choices both for the contents and services. These agencies get contents from many different photographers. That is why they can offer customers with more options. They also have bigger marketing budgets for promoting, attracting much more customers than individual photographers can.

When photographers or other creators distribute their works through these marketplaces, they have to give up parts of the right and sacrifice parts of the revenue. These are indeed the disadvantages for the creators but they have no choices as they also need to reach more audiences to generate more sales, something that they cannot do on their own.

The protocol is the key to regulating any transactions within the platform such as licensing, access, payments, and revenues for creators, marketplaces, and referrals.

Wemark offers distribution agreements between creators and marketplaces. These agreements are immutable. Through the agreements, both creators and marketplaces can reach win-win solutions. The agreement is digitally signed. After being signed, the blockchain will deploy the contract and its terms that contain the licensing price, issuance of the license, distribution fee, and sort of. The blockchain prevents anyone to change, deny, and remove the agreements by any means. It will keep the contracts secure and immutable. Unless there is a consent of all involved parties, there is no way out to make any changes to the agreements.
