Digital media and user-generated platforms have given rise to a host of issues in identifying content and finding its rightful owners. However, with both the tech and regulation surrounding these issues shifting and maturing, attributing this content and licensing it at scale is now possible. Pex’s Attribution Engine harnesses this change by enabling a third-party service free of charge, where rights holders can register their works and platforms can clear licensed content for their users. Pex hopes this will usher in a new, real-time & transparent era of rights management.
