@kirkelabs/open-agent-access-creative-rights

Creative rights helpers for Open Agent Access.

This package binds creator/asset metadata, licensing terms, provenance references, and registry references into OAA policies and receipts. It is meant for use cases such as samples, stems, loops, vocals, datasets, images, articles, and other creative assets that need machine-readable permission and payment terms.

It does not create copyright, prove final legal ownership, replace PRS/PPL or other collective-management organisations, or operate as a marketplace.

Install

npm install @kirkelabs/open-agent-access-creative-rights @kirkelabs/open-agent-access-core

Example

import {
  createCreativeAssetAccessPolicy,
  createCreativeReceiptEvidence
} from "@kirkelabs/open-agent-access-creative-rights";

const passport = {
  version: "0.1",
  protocol: "open-agent-access",
  kind: "creative-asset-passport",
  asset: {
    id: "manchester-loop-001",
    title: "Manchester Perc Loop 001",
    type: "loop",
    hash: "sha256:example"
  },
  rights: {
    claimant: { name: "Example Producer", wallet: "ALGOD_ADDRESS" },
    claims: ["sound-recording", "sample-pack"],
    authorshipBasis: "original"
  },
  policy: {
    deniedUses: ["ai-training"],
    aiTraining: { allowed: false },
    licenseOptions: [
      {
        id: "commercial-sample",
        decision: "charge",
        purposes: ["creative-licensing"],
        uses: ["commercial-sample"],
        price: { amount: "25", currency: "GBP", unit: "license" }
      }
    ]
  },
  legalNotice: "This passport records a rights claim and license terms. It is not a copyright registration."
} as const;

const policy = createCreativeAssetAccessPolicy(passport, {
  origin: "https://example-collective.test"
});

const receiptEvidence = createCreativeReceiptEvidence(passport);

By default, license rules are emitted on license-specific paths such as /creative-assets/manchester-loop-001/licenses/commercial-sample. This avoids first-match ambiguity between free, paid, review, and denied licenses.

Framing

Open Agent Access is the policy, payment, and receipt rail.

• RSL-style terms can be referenced through registry.rsl.
• C2PA/content credentials can be referenced through provenance.
• Algorand can anchor receipts or settlement references through registry.algorand.
• Rights societies and marketplaces remain external systems referenced through identifiers and URLs.

That keeps OAA useful without pretending to be a rights society, marketplace, DRM system, or copyright registry.
