    This project seeks to address the shortcomings of current online monetization for content in these areas: (i) authenticating sources with tools proposed by recent initiatives, (ii) managing complex rights-holding and permissions,. (iii) handling multiple payees. Shared rights-holding means a single payment may need to be distributed among several - sometimes many - recipients to support decentralized commerce. The project will create and demonstrate tools which integrate the distribution of single ILP payments to multiple payees with content authentication, and licensing for real-world use cases.
