Could you explain how a "normal" person like myself might use this service? I know when I've tried to find a stock photo or maybe something from a Getty-like service, it's usually cost prohibitive. With this model, is it possibly more friendly to everyday consumers?

We're certainly building this to be a B2B tool but it will be available to all. Prices will be set by the suppliers, but we're going to have a wide range of supply-side vendors including those who provide user-generated content. Generally, that means lower prices.

Our goal isn't necessarily to be the cheapest licensing solution. It's more about bringing parties together, eliminating friction, and bringing the two parties closer to the transaction.

who are the board members?

We'll announce some next week - hang tight!

What is the benefit of doing this on the blockchain?
Also, what's to stop me from just getting pictures or media off twitter or facebook?

This is more about the B2B use-case, where companies may want to use photos for things like advertising or other commercial purposes. You need to secure licensing rights to do so legally.

Thank you! So many people just blindly violate copyright laws. As a digital artist myself, I've found my photography and illustrations used online with zero attribution, let alone permission. I'm glad there's going to be a way to do this with full transparency on every step of the process. Great idea!

Hopefully our user-generated photo integration will help.
