Recently, I’ve been seeing discussions about IP licensing, and it really got me thinking. There’s always been debate over the definitions of new IP versus traditional IP, but then I came across two new terms: 'Extractive IP' and 'Collaborative IP.' Let’s start with Extractive IP, which refers to extractive intellectual property and is basically the poster child for traditional IP. Traditional IP licensing is nothing short of a nightmare. If you want to use a piece of music, an image, or some content, you first have to track down the copyright owner, go through endless negotiations, and spend a fortune just to secure a license. And don’t even get me started on royalty distribution—after layers of agents and copyright companies take their cut, creators are lucky if they end up with 30% of the revenue. On top of that, the rise of AI large models has made data scraping an even bigger issue. Major platforms casually scrape your content to train their AI models, making huge profits while creators don’t see a single penny. In this system, only big corporations and wealthy studios can afford to play the IP licensing game. Now let’s talk about Collaborative IP, which refers to collaborative intellectual property. This concept is changing the rules of the game. @campnetworkxyz uses smart contracts to eliminate all the middlemen, cutting costs by over 90%. The result? Content created can be licensed for use instantly, and royalties are distributed directly to wallets in real time—no intermediaries taking a cut. Every remix and derivative work can be traced back to the original creator on-chain, offering a level of transparency that traditional models simply can’t achieve. The best part is that the barrier to entry has been lowered. In the past, only big companies could participate in IP licensing, but now anyone can register their work, set licensing terms, and join the global IP economy. This permissionless creative environment at least gives independent creators a fair shot at competing. For AI and businesses, it’s no longer a free-for-all when it comes to scraping data. Now they have to pay licensing fees properly, which ensures creators’ rights are protected. This could lead to a virtuous cycle where creators are motivated to create, and users can access content in a compliant way. @campnetworkxyz is a prime example of bringing the Collaborative IP model on-chain. At its core, it’s redefining the relationship between creation and value distribution. But it’s not just about technological innovation—it’s a shift in mindset. From closed to open, from monopoly to sharing, from solitary creation to collaborative innovation.
