Why register your work with RegisteredCommons?

Provision of reliable information about creator
Guarantee non-revocability of licenses
Verifiable work through hash encoding
Option to define moral rights
Option to contact registrant
Folksonomy and Wikipages
Indistinct relations between license, work release and creator are bound to cause problems: fraud of license, republishing under wrong license, withdrawal of license or moral rights infringement. RegisteredCommons interconnects this triangle relation and thus improves legal confidence. Additionally, a creator may announce usage conditions beyond license terms (e.g. commercial use only for non-profit companies or only if derivative is also being registered and thus traceable). Furthermore, a creator may specify moral rights, such as where the work shall not be published (e.g. not by military organisations).
