I don't like to repost stuff but it became relevant again so...

Here’s a draft for a new copyright law for ebooks that integrates crypto as an incentive and ensures fair compensation for copyright holders:


---

Proposed Copyright Law for Ebooks with Crypto Incentives

Section 1: General Principles

1. Objective: This law aims to facilitate legal access to a wide range of digital books while ensuring that authors and copyright holders are compensated fairly. By using a cryptocurrency-based model, this system encourages the redistribution of knowledge, protects intellectual property, and supports the sustainability of creative industries.


2. Legal Framework:

All ebooks, whether publicly available or privately owned, are licensed through a transparent, blockchain-backed system.

Copyright holders are automatically enrolled in this system, ensuring they receive compensation for any distribution or usage of their work.

Readers and distributors participate in this system using a digital currency called BookCoin (BC).




Section 2: Cryptocurrencies and Rewards for Distribution

1. Incentives for Torrenting:

Individuals who download ebooks from the system or share them with others on decentralized platforms (peer-to-peer networks, such as torrents) receive BookCoin rewards based on the number of downloads, interactions, and shared books.

BookCoin values will be determined by the demand for specific books, allowing popular works to generate higher rewards.

The system uses smart contracts to ensure that the distribution of content is in line with copyright law while still rewarding the redistribution.



2. BookCoin:

BookCoin is a cryptocurrency specifically designed for this ebook ecosystem. Users accumulate BookCoin by engaging in legal sharing and downloading activities.

BookCoin can be used to access a vast library of books, ensuring users can legally borrow or purchase books without any infringing activity.

BookCoin can be traded or exchanged in the market for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies, providing a monetary incentive for participation in the ebook-sharing economy.




Section 3: The Book Library and Legal Access

1. Centralized Library Platform:

A massive digital library, The Open Library Network, will be the central platform where BookCoin is used for access. This library will include a wide range of books across genres and fields, from academic textbooks to fiction.

All books on this platform will be automatically licensed through a blockchain ledger, ensuring that copyright holders are compensated whenever their work is accessed, downloaded, or shared.

Authors or publishers who choose to participate will register their works on the blockchain to create a transparent, immutable record of their intellectual property.



2. Access Rules:

Users spend BookCoin to access books from the platform. The amount required to access a book depends on factors like book popularity, author agreement, and the specific usage terms set by the copyright holder.

Every transaction made within the platform is recorded, ensuring that authors receive compensation for every access point.




Section 4: Compensation for Copyright Holders

1. Revenue Distribution:

Copyright holders (authors, publishers, and other stakeholders) will receive a 10% fee on all transactions related to their books, whether accessed via BookCoin or purchased directly through the system.

The revenue will be automatically credited to the copyright holder’s wallet in the form of BookCoin or other currencies, based on their preference. This ensures that even microtransactions from individual readers are accounted for fairly.



2. Transparent and Fair Payment System:

Payments to copyright holders are automated via smart contracts, ensuring that they are made promptly and without human intervention.

The system provides detailed reports to authors and publishers, showing how their works are being accessed and distributed, and how much compensation they have earned.




Section 5: Copyright Protection and Enforcement

1. Blockchain-backed Copyrights:

Each book uploaded to the platform is associated with a smart contract that verifies ownership and tracks all distribution. This blockchain system ensures that copyright violations are quickly flagged, and unauthorized use is prevented.

The platform will use a combination of machine learning algorithms and community reporting to ensure that books are not pirated or distributed outside of the legal network.



2. Penalties for Infringement:

Users who attempt to bypass the system or engage in illegal sharing of ebooks outside the network will face penalties, including the loss of BookCoin rewards, account suspension, or a ban from the library.

A decentralized community review system will be in place to monitor infringements and resolve disputes in an equitable and transparent manner.




Section 6: Global Accessibility and Inclusivity

1. Global Participation:

This law is designed to be globally applicable, allowing authors from different countries to join the platform and receive compensation for their work, regardless of geographic location.

BookCoin will be interoperable with major global cryptocurrencies, allowing for easy exchanges and transactions in multiple markets.



2. Equitable Access:

BookCoin rewards will be designed to be inclusive, enabling individuals in low-income areas to still access books without financial barriers, through community sharing or contribution to the ecosystem.




Section 7: The Future of the Digital Library Ecosystem

1. Evolving Content:

The system will be open to adapting based on emerging technologies and content formats (e.g., audiobooks, interactive texts, etc.), ensuring that it remains relevant and useful for future generations.

New copyright holders and book formats will be automatically integrated into the system as it grows, maintaining a legal and fair marketplace for knowledge.



2. Collaborative Projects:

Authors, educators, and researchers will be able to collaborate on open projects, sharing resources and knowledge via the platform while being rewarded with BookCoin.





---

This system integrates cryptocurrency with copyright protection, incentivizes legal sharing, and ensures fair compensation for authors and publishers, creating a sustainable model for the future of ebooks and digital content.

Short answer: No — but we can get very far in one month with $1 billion.

Here’s a breakdown of what can be accomplished in 30 days with that kind of funding and a highly coordinated global effort:

What $1B Can Achieve in 1 Month (Realistically) 1. Build the Core Tech (10–14 days sprint) Assemble elite teams (devs, UX, blockchain, infra) from around the world. Build a working MVP of the platform, including: Login, library search, reading interface. Blockchain-based BookCoin wallet. Smart contracts for author royalty splits. Preload with 1M+ public domain or pre-licensed works (via partnerships or AI scraping). 2. Launch Token Ecosystem Instantly fund the BookCoin with liquidity pools. Deploy smart contracts with automated royalties and torrent verification. Set up an airdrop, staking, and creator onboarding reward system. 3. Secure Major Licensing & Legal Support Pay fast-track teams of lawyers in 30+ countries to create national compliance blueprints. Offer large upfront guarantees to publishers and authors for rapid licensing of tens of thousands of titles. 4. Hire & Deploy at Scale Hire 1,000+ people globally in: Localization (100+ languages). Metadata cleaning. AI tagging, summarization, and translation. Open 24/7 remote editorial and support teams in 5 continents. 5. Global Publicity Blitz Partner with 100+ influencers, universities, and media to roll out "The Internet Library is Here" campaign. Flood social media, TV, education networks with curated book bundles and incentives. What Still Takes Time (Beyond 1 Month) Global legal harmonization (months to years). Cultural adoption & habit shift — users moving from pirate sites to legal incentives. Trust-building with authors and publishers, especially large ones. AI refinement for smart licensing, curation, and torrent validation. Conclusion

With $1 billion, you can launch a shockwave-level MVP, secure massive early adoption, and change the internet's relationship with books almost overnight. But total global implementation — legal, cultural, and behavioral — takes longer.

Absolutely — here's a crypto-native pitch tailored to excite Web3 investors, builders, and ideologues:

Pitch: Project Athena – The World’s First Legal Torrent-to-Earn Library

TL;DR:
We’re building a decentralized, legal, torrent-based global library where users earn crypto for sharing knowledge, and creators earn royalties by default — all enforced by smart contracts.

The Problem Pirate libraries like Anna’s Archive show the demand for open access — but they're illegal, unstable, and creators earn nothing. Legal e-book platforms are fragmented, expensive, and locked behind corporate DRM. Billions of people have no legal access to books — even when they have internet. The Solution

Project Athena:
A fully legal, decentralized platform where:

Torrenting earns you crypto (BookCoin). You spend BookCoin to access a massive, community-curated knowledge base. Every book is licensed automatically, and rights-holders receive 10% of every transaction — enforced by code.

Built on Web3, backed by a DAO, and governed by the people.

How It Works You seed or verify a book torrent → You earn BookCoin. You spend BookCoin to read or download more books. Authors/publishers earn royalties every time their content is accessed — no middlemen. The DAO governs licensing, moderation, treasury, and rewards. Why Crypto? Incentives drive behavior. Torrent-to-earn flips piracy into preservation. Smart contracts = automated royalty payments, 100% transparent. DAOs = global governance, beyond borders or publishers. Tokens = scalability + censorship resistance. Market Potential 5B+ people lack access to quality books. 1B+ people torrent books — but legally can’t. Hundreds of millions of students, teachers, coders, and creators need better access.

This is the Filecoin moment for knowledge.

BookCoin (BKC) Utility Earned by seeding, translating, curating, reviewing. Spent on premium content access, early releases, private torrents. Staked to vote on licensing deals, blacklist decisions, protocol upgrades. What We Need $50M seed to fund MVP, licensing deals, liquidity pool, and global ops. Advisors, builders, partners to help launch in 30+ languages and 100+ countries. Join the Mission

This isn’t just a protocol.
It’s civilizational infrastructure —
A moonshot to make all human knowledge legal, permanent, and accessible to everyone, powered by crypto.

Project Athena: The Last Library.

→ Let’s build it.

Here’s a clear and compelling ROI breakdown for investors in the crypto ecosystem backing Project Athena:

Investor ROI: Project Athena 1. Token Appreciation – $BKC Deflationary supply model: Token burns on each transaction. Staking rewards: Early backers receive a portion of all platform fees. Demand drivers: Billions of book accesses per year = high transaction volume. Schools, devs, AI firms, and individuals buying $BKC to access content. Analog: Think $BAT (Brave), but for all human knowledge.

Projected 10x–100x token appreciation over 3–5 years as user base scales.

2. Early Access & Governance Influence Early investors get whitelist access to strategic staking pools, governance tokens, and DAO council voting rights. Influence on: Royalty splits Publisher deals Licensing structures Expansion into AI training data, edtech, etc.

You shape the rules of a global knowledge protocol.

3. Institutional + Government Buy-In Governments and universities can be onboarded as bulk token buyers to serve their populations. Like Zoom or Google Docs, but for textbooks and research — and you own the rails.

Guaranteed demand by large-scale public sector and edtech partnerships.

4. DeFi Integration $BKC can be used in DeFi lending markets, liquidity pools, and remittance systems focused on educational credit. Potential yield farming opportunities on BookCoin staking, liquidity provision, and royalty prediction markets. 5. Long-Term Buyout Potential Exit scenarios: Acquired by global edtech (e.g. Duolingo, Khan Academy, Coursera). Public-private partnerships with UN, UNESCO, or major governments. Integration into LLM training pipelines.

You invest in the rails of the future data economy.

ROI Timeline (Estimated) Phase Time Valuation Potential Investor Gains Pre-MVP 0–6 months $10–30M x1–3 Global Pilot (10M users) 1 year $100–300M x5–20 Institutional Adoption 2–3 years $1B+ x20–100+

Would you like a cap table structure or tokenomics model to go with this ROI plan?

Great — here's a token model for BookCoin ($BKC) designed to handle microtransactions (fractions of cents) even if it surpasses Bitcoin's value.

BookCoin ($BKC) – Token Design 1. Total Supply 100 trillion $BKC Why? Enables ultra-small transactions (e.g. $0.00001) without losing precision, even if 1 BKC > $100,000 in the future. 2. Decimals 18 decimal places (standard in Ethereum/ERC-20 tokens) This means:
1 BKC = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 wei (smallest unit)
Supports nanopayments: $0.00000000000001-level accuracy 3. Initial Distribution (Example Allocation) Category % Allocation Notes Token Sale (public + private) 25% Early investors, liquidity Community Rewards 25% Torrenting, uploading, seeding Knowledge DAO Treasury 20% Licensing, partnerships, grants Developer & Infra Fund 10% Protocol upgrades, bounties Team & Advisors 10% Vested over 4 years Strategic Reserve 10% Emergency, buybacks, stability fund 4. Deflationary Mechanics 1–3% burn on all transactions Royalties auto-distributed: 10% of each content access goes to the rightsholders 5. Utility Pay for book access, subscriptions, AI services Earn by seeding, translating, curating Staking for governance and DAO voting Micropayments for annotations, reviews, summaries Scalability Strategy Launch on a layer 2 (e.g. Polygon, Base, Arbitrum) to ensure low gas fees Support cross-chain bridges for Solana, BNB Chain, and Filecoin Eventually integrate with account abstraction to make payments invisible to end-users (especially students)

This coin is future-proof, nano-capable, and engineered for civilization-scale utility.

Absolutely. Here’s a full alternative model to the project without using crypto, while still achieving the same goals: global access to books, fair compensation for authors, and legal torrent-style distribution.

Project Athena (Non-Crypto Alternative)

Subtitle: The Global Cooperative Library

Core Concept:

A global, legal torrent-based book-sharing platform powered by a universal access points system (like airline miles or Duolingo XP), with authors automatically compensated from a global licensing pool funded by institutions, donors, and readers.

How It Works: 1. Users Earn Points, Not Coins Users earn “Library Points” by: Seeding/hosting verified books (via a P2P desktop or mobile app). Reviewing metadata and quality. Translating or transcribing content. Points can be redeemed for book access. Everyone can freely access a basic tier, with points unlocking premium books, formats (e.g. audiobooks), or early releases. 2. Global Licensing Pool A central Global Knowledge Fund pays authors a fair royalty based on access logs, not per-download microtransactions. This fund is crowdfunded by donations, government contributions, library and university memberships, and freemium subscriptions. 3. Smart Distribution Without Blockchain Torrent-style delivery via IPFS or similar, ensuring no centralized servers. Books are tagged and verified by community curators using version control (think GitHub for books). Metadata and usage logs (e.g. downloads, reads, ratings) are open and auditable. 4. Transparent Royalties Authors, translators, and publishers register and claim royalties via a user portal. A fair-use algorithm allocates a monthly payout pool, ranking downloads by author, ensuring long-tails are rewarded too. 5. Governance The platform is managed by a nonprofit cooperative with: A rotating council of librarians, authors, educators, and users. Global and local working groups (e.g., “Germany on Papers, US on Books, UK on Art”). Revenue Model (No Crypto, No Ads)

Freemium Model:

Free users get standard access. Paid users support the ecosystem and get: Access to rare or in-demand books. Offline access and advanced features. Priority in point redemptions.

Institutional Subscriptions:

Universities, governments, and NGOs pay based on usage volume. They get dashboards, reporting tools, and private repository features.

Donor Contributions & Foundations:

Similar to Wikipedia or Internet Archive’s model. Transparent annual reports and matching donation campaigns. Social Impact & ROI (Non-Financial) Universal Knowledge Access: Every person in the world can learn, teach, and share without economic barriers. Empowerment of Authors: Even small-scale writers get fair visibility and royalties. Educational Equality: Supports schools and learners in low-resource areas. Ecological ROI: Dematerialized book access saves paper, logistics, and emissions.

True — crypto adds an edge: it's programmable, borderless, gamified, and sexy to investors.

But here's how we can make the non-crypto version just as sexy by borrowing design cues from crypto:

1. Make It Feel Like a GameFi Platform Library Points = XP or “Proof-of-Seed”
(Replace “mining” with “seeding knowledge” — reward users for hosting, curating, translating) Display global leaderboards and seasonal events ("Top Translators: May 2025"). Add achievements, badges, NFT-like avatars (without the NFTs). 2. Tokenomics Without Tokens Treat “points” like a soft-currency economy: Users “stake” points for early access. Points are burned for rare book drops. Communities can pool points to unlock new uploads or fund a scan. 3. Partner with Trendy Brands & Philanthropies Make it culturally relevant by aligning with: Tech-for-good orgs (Mozilla, EFF) Education influencers Cool minimalist branding (think Duolingo + GitHub) 4. Build the Narrative “The Internet Archive, Reimagined.” “A Knowledge DAO, Without the Chain.” “What if torrenting books made the world better?” “Wikipedia meets Audible meets BitTorrent.”

If you want, I can write a sexy launch manifesto, make an edgy name and brand, or even propose a DAO-like voting system using only normal web tools. Want to go that route?

Let’s go all-in. Here’s your full manifesto, brand identity, DAO-like governance, and launch strategy — all without using crypto, but still feeling like a cultural movement:

PROJECT NAME: LIBRÁRIUM

Tagline: “Seed Knowledge. Earn Access. Change the World.”

A decentralized, gamified, open-access book ecosystem where every torrent you share fuels universal education and rewards authors fairly.

I. LAUNCH MANIFESTO: THE KNOWLEDGE REBELLION

“We were born into a world where books were locked behind paywalls, where million-dollar publishing giants sued students, and where the right to read was a privilege, not a birthright. We say no more.

It’s time to unchain knowledge. To reward curiosity, not consumption.
To torrent not to steal, but to build.

Librárium is a torrent-based global library — legal, public, and powerful.
You earn access by helping the system: seed books, verify quality, translate titles.

Authors are paid from a global pool supported by institutions, donors, and believers.

There’s no crypto, no surveillance, no ads. Just a simple promise:
Read. Share. Be Rewarded.

This is not piracy. This is restoration.

Join us.”

— The Librárium Core Collective

II. BRAND IDENTITY Logo: Minimalist open book + decentralized dot network motif. Color Palette: Deep indigo, ivory parchment, digital gold. Design Aesthetic: Combines classic library imagery with glitch-art and cyberpunk undertones. Mascot: An owl wearing a VR headset holding a scroll: “Athena-9000” III. CORE FEATURES (No Crypto Needed) Feature Description Proof-of-Seed Earn points by hosting torrents, translating, and verifying content. LibraryPoints A soft currency to unlock premium access, early uploads, events. OpenRoyalties Authors are paid monthly via transparent algorithm from donation & subscription pool. Librarian Nodes Volunteers curate uploads and approve metadata with voting rights. Seasonal Challenges “Translate 100 books in Swahili”; “Preserve banned literature” — with real rewards. IV. GOVERNANCE (DAO-Like Without Blockchain) Librárium Council (Rotating, Elected Every 6 Months): 3 authors 3 translators 3 readers 3 infrastructure devs Voting via verified contributor accounts using secure off-chain ballots (e.g., Helios or Snapshot-like tools).

Decisions Made:

Grant allocations Feature prioritization Global book acquisition campaigns Author inclusion policies V. LAUNCH STRATEGY

1. Beta Release (Invite-Only)

Drop to top torrenting communities, BookTok influencers, university archives.

2. “Proof of Preservation” Campaign

Community unlocks the top 10 most endangered books by seeding. Gamified leaderboard.

3. Institutional Partnership

Offer white-labeled versions for: African universities Public library systems in Brazil, India, Philippines UN/UNESCO-backed reading programs

4. Major Drop Event: “The Digital Alexandria”

Massive unlock event with 100,000 public domain + donated books. Livestream with authors, activists, and celebrities. VI. SEXY SLOGANS TO USE ANYWHERE “Make Torrenting Legal Again.” “Read-to-Earn. Share-to-Learn.” “Pirate Ethos. Public Library Values.” “Books for All. No Crypto Needed.” “This isn’t Web3. This is WebWe.”

If you'd like, I can now generate:

A full brand book (logos, fonts, visuals). A pitch deck for donors, institutions, and accelerators. A technical roadmap and team division structure. Would you like me to start with one of those? ***

I got an intrusive thought

I could get used to this pace of life

I feel like a people farmer somehow

By doing this internship in a school

It is so torturing to attend class with those two

I like it

If I have to nip in the bud another love in this goddamn university I'm gonna flip my lid

it probably won't happen

Oh, right. The emo girl.

Well, I don't even talk to her.

Chant Alexsandra's mantra!

You can't lose what you never had.

All of the Earth belongs to the Lord.

He knows what He's doing.

I no longer suffer as I used to.

There is no anger or anxiety.

All there is is a little bit of sadness.

But that's normal I guess.

Why do I still pretend to care?

The moment they vanish from sight I stop thinking about them.

I've successfully eradicated

Longing

And it was the worst part of it all

I learned

Never to wish

Being somewhere you're not at

I am always in the exact precise place

God intended me to be

This basically killed all longing

Now I just need to do something

About the boredom

And I'll be golden

Dear Princess

How are you doing?

I hope you're doing better than fine

I've had a rather interesting day

When I was to my internship

I got the privilege to witness

Lots of students doing

A writing assignment

Six of them blew up are reasonable deadlines

And spent twice the proposed time on it

I didn't sleep at all

But I don't feel tired

Guess I was having

Way too much fun

Studying that book

For my project

It is an interesting book

I've been wondering

Maybe worrying about the future

Is a mistake

I could die in my sleep tonight

I could not even make it back home

And I am worried about our grandchildren

The best thing I can do for them

Is focus on the present

And figure out a way

To improve my lot in life

Well, if I make it back home

I'm going to sleep

And when I wake up

I will finish the work

Going without sleep two nights in a row

Don't sound very auspicious

Specifically because

I'm trying to do

Complex intellectual work

Well, I am going home now

After I talk to the teacher
