Poll: Pay the Producer (PtP) or Pay Per Like (PPL) or No Incentive

I concede that point but you assume the producer knows about SAFE, that he is interested in paying the SAFE tax to register his work, and that people will actually try to look for the original (the first SAFE copy) of an otherwise good sounding MP3 file (what would be their incentive for that and how would they check very worthy piece of work they come across?).

It is a theoretical aspiration. Once there is a SAFE search engine, customers demand that sites post “proof of original” (which can’t exist - unless there is AI that intelligently scans the network and finds true original, but who will set the criteria?) metadata for each multimedia and text they publish, most sites won’t bother.
So nothing will happen for at least 5 years, possibly longer (why would a participant on the network, unless he belongs to a tiny minority of reward-the-author fanatics, accept to provide compute resources (i.e. pay IP tax) for this searching and analysis?

Indeed,

I don’t know how effective the walletmark solution will be. Or if people (creators and consumers) will bother to “support” a proof-of-original APP (Creator Search Engine). The best we can do is create tools, and let people to use them.

Your point also stresses how public perception affects SAFE adoption. This may in fact take 5 years, more or less.

Well, you don’t need to display other people’s likes.
