Licensing rights
How Mesi protects your creative IP while enabling monetization through the Public Media Library.
At Mesi, we believe in Creator Sovereignty. When you upload content, you retain 100% of the underlying Intellectual Property (IP) rights, even if you sell the content as an NFT.
Mesi Public Media Library
The Public Media Library is a central repository where creators can choose to share their assets for platform-wide reuse. By submitting content to the library, you enable other users to incorporate your work into their own creations, generating a passive revenue stream.
Licensing Options
When submitting to the library, you must select one of the following licensing models:
Free License: Grants any Mesi user the right to reuse your content within the platform at no cost.
Paid License: You set a custom price and define the parameters (e.g., duration of use, view limits, or perpetual access).
Revenue Distribution
Mesi handles the complex infrastructure of licensing and payment distribution. Whether the licensee is another Mesi user or an external corporation, the split remains transparent.

Managing Library Content
Once content is contributed to the library, certain rules apply to maintain the integrity of the ecosystem and protect users who have already licensed your work.
Modification & Removal Matrix
Remove from Library
Restricted
Only possible if no other NFTs or users are currently reusing the content.
Switch: Paid to Free
Allowed
Can be changed anytime. Active paid licenses remain valid until their expiration.
Switch: Free to Paid
Restricted
Only possible if the content has not yet been reused by other platform assets.
**NFT Sales:** Selling an asset as an NFT does not prevent you from also licensing it in the Public Media Library. These are two separate revenue streams for the same piece of content.
Lifecycle of a License
Creator uploads content and applies for the Public Media Library. Mesi team verifies the content meets quality and safety standards. Other users or external brands discover and license the content. The 90/10 split is automatically executed; **\$MESI** tokens are credited to the creator. **Pro-Tip:** Start by offering a few "Free License" assets to build your reputation and "Used In" metrics. Once you have a high engagement score, transition your premium assets to "Paid Licenses."
