EMBEDID: A Modular Watermark Protocol for Authorship and Remix Lineage by James The Giblet
EMBEDID is a modular watermark protocol designed by James The Giblet for authorship, remix lineage, and builder sovereignty. It is a protocol that encodes authorship into files using tamper-resistant watermarks without the need for a central registry, providing raw identity embedding. The protocol is free to fork, override, and mutate, allowing users to customize CLI, manifest logic, signature scheme, or add/remove features as desired. Sovereignty in EMBEDID means users have the power to choose what to watermark, how to verify, and when to declare lineage, making the protocol truly modular. Users can add watermarks, verify watermarks, inspect parsed manifest fields, and remove watermarks using various CLI commands.
