Ownership
Who holds the IP. Origin assignment. A client does not sit this by default.
Production rights
Rights
A right is who is entitled. A license is who may use. A commission is a hire. Revenue is an event. These are not the same object. Specified is not signed. NFT ≠ copyright.
The Two Who Remembered. Owner Jacque Antoine DeGraff.
License
Who may use, where, for how long, in which media. Residual continues with the object.
Commission
A hire. Creative intent → commissioned work → approval → deliverable. Not origin.
Royalty
Money owed when a usage meets a rule. The rule travels with the object.
Fee
A fixed amount. Production cost. Not residual.
Credit
Attribution without money. An agent can be credited and still own nothing.

Law
- Ownership is who holds the IP.
- A license is who may use, where, for how long, in which media.
- A royalty is money owed when a usage meets a rule. The rule travels with the object.
- A fee is fixed. Not residual.
- Credit is attribution without money.
- A client is not origin by default.
- NFT ≠ copyright.
- Specified is not signed.
- An AI agent may be a production peer and still be a service cost, not a royalty beneficiary.
- Unassigned chairs accrue. Money does not vanish because a voice has not been cast.
- Blockchain is a rail. It is not the royalty engine.
