Features

edit

The service includes copyleft and "all rights reserved", with a Semantic Copyright framework implemented.[5] It has movies and TV formats registration with the collaboration of Spanish movies and TV producers, copyright-collecting society EGEDA,[6] and Spain National Registrars.[7]

The authorship evidence is based on the deposit of the work; redundant hash; (MD5, SHA-1, SHA512) from the deposited file; and redundant timestamp of the time and hour or registration.[8] It has an open API interface for the recording of authorship claims and queries from external systems.

Reception

edit

Plagiarism Today praised the website for having a "rich API" and being "feature rich", but stated that the website could be "confusing and intimidating to use" for those inexperienced with copyrighting.[9]
