We're finalizing the push for the copyright registration v2 this week and hoping that it'll get merged soon - at least before Tezcon in late June. We're going to be switching over our focus onto building teia.cafe's radio and marketplace afterwards. Still needs a few weeks of testing but you can experiment with it on TEIA's preview page if you want to get a head start. 🙂 - This will add a new menu item to the top right menu called "copyright" where you can register existing works with licensing declarations (https://preview.teia.art/copyright)

- The previous version where the agreement is attached to the minting process will be deprecated. Existing agreements on v1 are still legally valid - v2 just adds more flexibility that artists were asking for during the feedback process - v2 allows for users to register URLs that are not on Tezos, including regular HTTP links. It is the responsibility on the part of the issuer to maintain and prove that these links are valid, in case of a dispute or broken URLs/IPFS links. The contract does have a verification check (☑️✅) if the work you are registering is minted on either TEIA or a Tezos-based contract (objkt, Scribo, Versum, even contracts that are no longer updated) and the author of the work matches the current wallet address (to prove authorship), which we want to encourage people to do since it's easier just to let the blockchain handle the maintenance and proofs for them.

- There is a new tab "Copyrights" added to the "Assets" page where you can check the existing agreements you have made. Keep in mind that this registration process is designed to be binding and permanent for professional use - so you should double and triple check that it's something you're comfortable with and doesn't contradict itself. Currently there isn't a feed or platform that displays everything that people have registered, but that is something that we're planning on doing with teia.cafe. - The admin functions for the contract borrows @jagracar's multisig for the core team and gives them full control over the management of the process itself. (Changing the initial text of the agreement, destination addresses, fees, etc.) The # of votes required to pass, the duration of active proposals, and membership are all sync'd to the existing contract so this just gives the team more options to work with. Decentralized governance for the win! (https://preview.teia.art/admincopyright)

- We're aware that the UI and some language needs some work to make it more legible, but that will be done in a separate PR (probably by me, unless someone else is interested in doing it). Guides and infographics will also come to help educate people on the how-tos and benefits of using a system like this to protect and promote your work as well. It took a bit longer than we would've liked, but we took the necessary steps to make sure it was done correctly so we're hoping this will pay off in the long run. It's decentralized, transparent, and reliable!
