Likeness Needs Infrastructure

Creators need a governed path from enrollment and discovery to attribution, licensing, removal, and monitoring.

The article pairs governance principles with a clickable rights-decision flow.

Discovery is not a verdict

A candidate image or voice match should open a review that includes source, context, ownership, license, jurisdiction, and counter-evidence.

The creator controls the path

A useful system supports attribution, licensing, removal, monitoring, or no action rather than forcing every case into enforcement.

Receipts protect every side

When evidence and rationale remain attached, platforms and rights holders can review, appeal, correct, and resolve cases with less ambiguity.
