 Hi everyone, my name is Camila, I'm legal hackers, some power chapter co-organizer and today we're doing the report out session for the Open Media Legal Hack. I have here with me the great, great Dalzai Greenwood, are you there Dalzai yet? Hello, here we are coming to you live from MIT. Amazing, so we're about to enter the room full of amazing people who have been hacking for the whole day. Unfortunately, we don't have much time, but I'm sure they could stay the whole night here discussing how we can disrupt the music and the media industry. But for now, let's go to the pitches, so this is our Brazilian crew. Hi everyone, so this is how this is going down, we have two amazing groups and they are going to start presenting their ideas as of now, who should be the first? You, come on over. What's the name of your group? Mesh Art. This way. So now with you directly from Brazil, we have Mesh Art. All right, welcome. Okay, we are listening. Can you hear me, Dalzai? Yes, yep, you're coming through loud. Sorry? You're coming through loud and clear. Great. So the idea about Mesh Art is to create an online marketplace for content creators. The idea is to put all the content inside a platform, a marketplace where producers and people wanting to use like independent content creators as YouTubers or all sorts of people. If they want to use your art, like for example your music, your images, all the kind of stuff that you can create, they can go online, they can go on this platform and buy your content using each specific type of license. So for example, if you want to create a jingle to use on your advertisement, you have to buy that content on that specific license that will only work for a specific time. So we will create a smart contract that will generate all the rules that this content will have to follow to be used. Along with that, we would have a dashboard for the content creator so he could have the chance to understand how his music, how his content is being used, for example. If the content is used in the zero or in USA or Europe, he would have the chance to see how that would be working the amount of times that this license was used. And to see, to check how his products was generating revenue and all of that. So he could have control of his own earnings. It's kind of like that. That's very cool. We're going to introduce you all of the group prior to any feedback. So my chat people, can you please come out this way? Just so you can see how many amazing people were working on this project. Great. So this is match art. Any thoughts, Dosa? I can't quite see what's on the paper. I'm sorry. Match art. Oh, I see it now. Match art. Match art. Well, OK, so my one feedback on now on this. OK, yes, I have some feedback. So first of all, oh, I'm sorry. Let me ask is this this is the second team, right? Yes. Second team. OK, great. We're ready to ready for your presentation now. OK, OK, so second team is coming up. This is actually the full whole first team. And now we're bringing in the second. OK, great. That was the first team. OK, nice job, team. Hello, Dosa, how are you? Hello, what's your name? I'm Sofia, and I'm very, very shy to speak with you. So this is our second group that is called? Oh, Standard Play Protocol. Standard Play Protocol. Sofia, let's hear it. Oh, let's do it now. I hope not to die, really. There we go. OK, as an artist, how can I be sure? I'm getting right amount per listener. This is what we're thinking about, and we think about to solve the situation with transparency, with blockchain. Then the main purpose of Standard Play Protocol is to guarantee the single is being paid for each listen and also being a repression of the streaming platform. Look, using structure, we can take the music and took off fingerprints from the music, hash from the music. And each time this music is played, we can generate a hash that is sent for blockchain. Each time it happens, it's going to always refresh documents in the blockchain. And this hash, from the blockchain document, is sent also to the stream platform and to the singer. This way, both can see what is happening, what's the right listener numbers, and also, the singer can be sure he's having the right value for this. We can also work this. We have repression of value for who is listening. I love my singer. My favorite singer is the song and the right value from the music. So we try to work with all the network when we talk about this. This is our idea. Each time it's played, it's generated in the blockchain. Also, if I listen to music in the streaming offline, the play is registered. And when the device gets online, then the hash is sent for the blockchain. And I decide that anyway, the hash is at the end of the recitation. This is... So that's it for the second group. I'm sorry, no, that was amazing. So, all second group. Okay. I heard this press conference. I think that was very, that was good. I understood you and nice project. I'll give you more feedback when we're done. Okay, hello, everybody. Hello. Awesome. We're gonna do... Thank you, everyone. Thanks for this thing. You're welcome. Thank you. I'll give you feedback on the project right now. We're on our way to catch a speaker so we can all hear your feedback. So while we are at it, we have like two singers in here, one singer in here who's about to sing you a song. I see you standing already and you should be. What's your name? I'm ready for dancing. We have Shayna in here and Shayna's gonna sing a song. A cappella. In Portuguese. Portuguese. What do we do not do for love? But you do it so much that I forgot to tell you why. Because your desire is my mother and my destiny is to always want more. My road runs in your sea. Now come, come closer. Come closer, come without end. I want to feel your heavy heart under mine. Who will make me forget? Fantastic. Thank you, Marisa Monti. So just so you know, we are plugging in the speaker. We should be able to do your part of the feedback. Any time soon, we are just plugging in the... Yeah, we are on. Can you try speaking right now? Okay, hello, hello. Okay, hello, hello. Sounding clear. Yeah, let's do this. Great. So the first team. So the first team. Oh, there's some feedback. There's some feedback. Can you, can you, can you, can you turn your microphone off while I provide the... Oh, never mind. We're good now, Google fixed it. Google fixed it. Great, thank you. So that's better. So I have some feedback for the first team first. On that project, first of all, I'd say I want to acknowledge that it was a direct fit for the themes of the hackathon. And in particular, it addressed several of the challenges that we identified in New York City last weekend with Jesse Kay and the new agency and also with Monax and Brooklyn legal hackers where they were very concerned about being able to provide a life, like the whole life cycle, we would call it, of information and data for the musician. What I mean by that is from the moment that the music was created, all the way through the different ways it was used and distributed, they felt it was very important that the musicians and the composers of the music be able to have better data about all of the ways that the music was distributed and stored, played, who played it, how many times, in what kind of applications, this kind of stuff. And it sounds like you very much had that as part of your project. So now I have some feedback specifically. And it is, I would encourage you if you can stay in contact as a team or if you have some more time today or later to start to sketch out what would be the visualization of the data in a way that a musician or a composer who may not be technical can still understand what the data is because it can be difficult to provide a spreadsheet of rows and columns of information about the plays and the data about the music is hard to understand. And so my feedback is to think more about maybe like a dashboard or some simple design to visualize the meaning and what's important in all the data so that it's easy to understand for the musicians and the composers. Does that make sense? You have to take the microphone, put the mic back on to speak. Sorry, thank you. Group one wants to address this. Yeah, they're always saying that that makes sense and they wish to continue on doing this, like better evaluating what the proposals and how can they bring this project more close to the, to what they're aimed at. That's what you're saying to the consumers and to the artists and so on and so forth. Better desolating this concept, so yes. Right. And you can do that with just one paper. Don't let them sketch out what the mic looks like or you can draw it on the way you work with them. Yeah. Perhaps like streamlined diagrams as we discussed. Well, not so much. That is what you say is a good thing to do but my feedback is different right now. Right now my feedback is more like to sketch out what would you see on the screen? So like to actually do a wireframe of like, you know, the menu and what can you click on and maybe like, You'll be, we will sort of like a sketch up of a prototype of the MVP kind of like the login area of the visualization of data like statistic kind of those pizza diagrams or that kind of stuff. Exactly. Yeah. That's what I mean. So more like a wireframe or sketch up or something like this and it's okay if you become Google slide or you put paper or you use something like balsamic or sketch up is fine. But if you can add that to your project and put it into the slides with Mila so that we can all see the other projects, I think that would be a very important next step. Cool. Hey, great. So can I go to the next project now? Sure. Let me turn to Michael. Thank you. All right. So now project number two. So for that project, this is something that Mila and I worked on at MIT in January of this year with another legal hacker named Brian who today is doing the same kind of thing in Kansas City and also with some other lawyers and technologists. And it really comes down to the solving the problem of unique identification of a digital asset like music or even an activity or event is another thing that you can have a unique code for like a consent or a signature to contract. But the main thing is to have what in English we call provenance, provenance. Mila can explain that if you want, but it's a provable history of all of the events and the source of data over time. And so when you said that you could have a fingerprint like using a hash algorithm, I think this is good technology and the way you describe the project, I wanna say make sense to me. And so now my feedback is that's more specific. I wanna show you some pictures. So I'm gonna do a quick screen share to show you some things here. Okay, so hopefully I am presenting now. Here are some examples of ways that you can. Here we go. Let me just go right to identicon. Yeah, here we go. So here's, there's an open source algorithm that lets you take a hash or any data and express it in a very simple visual code that will basically provide, it'll provide you a simple way that a person could look at a small amount of information visually and know if the hash has changed and you present this visual data, they can very quickly see if that it has changed. It can be difficult for people in the moment to read along numbers and letters in a long string for the like shot 256 hash digest and to check if anything has changed. It shouldn't be very difficult, but it's kind of a chore. It's not easy for human beings, but it's very easy for a person to glance at the identicon and to know if it's the same or a different identicon. So if you have a person at a point of sale making a purchase and a sale, or if you have a person that's trying to monitor transactions very quickly on the fly and they want to prevent fraud or mistakes when they're happening and not later, it can be helpful to provide people a quick thing they can see with their eyes and understand, but that contains all of the information that you get from the hash algorithm and from the fingerprint. So I would encourage you to think, this is similar to my feedback to team number one, for team number two, I would encourage you also to think about the human experience, the user interface or the user design and just imagine what exactly would a person see and what would they do in order to use the system and to easily understand it so they can get the most out of it in that moment when they're using it. And one thing you could look at is identicons, but you could maybe think about a different way too, a different way is fine. Identicon is just one example. So if you could put your mic back on, I just wanna ask team number two, if you understood the kind of what I said and if it made sense to you, the mute's still on, okay. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, okay, so. Team number two, are you okay? Like so basically besides doing what team number one is doing is also to think of another way of doing this, not maybe through Identicon by using another technology and perhaps come up with another solution, is that it? Yeah, like another solution, you could do it with CryptoKitties, it's another simple visual thing that connects to data, you could do it with a QR barcode, you could do it with an Identicon, but I just wanna see, do you understand the feedback? I know it's a language barrier. All set, all clear. Okay, great, so that's my quick feedback and then also for you encourage you to write down the project in something that we can put into the slides for project two and then we can see both the projects from San Paolo and we're doing it for Kansas City, New York, San Francisco and MIT and then next month we'll have Tokyo and Vienna and then I think we'll have Tel Aviv now also in the winter so we can keep checking the slide deck at legalhackathon.org and you can see other people can see your project and you can see other people's projects and we can all share ideas about the good legal hacks. Amazing, thanks for joining us for the evening. We hope you have a great, great, great hacking day tomorrow, let's keep in touch, I'll make sure to watch it. Nice meeting you, much, all hearing. Thank you very much, see you soon.
