A new paper proposes the concept of a "digital speech act" as a means for individuals to retain copyright control over their content, particularly in decentralized digital platforms. The authors argue that by cryptographically signing content on their own devices, individuals can establish authorship, attribution, and accountability, thereby preserving their copyright ownership. This approach contrasts with current centralized platforms where users often surrender copyright control through Terms of Service agreements. The paper posits that this digital speech act is fundamental for achieving digital sovereignty and enabling democratic self-governance. AI
