Creator-Owned Style Licenses

Projection: Creators may license recognizable stylistic attributes for a defined medium, territory, duration, and use, receiving reports detailed enough to enforce the bargain. Creative-agent and voice growth create pressure for such contracts; neither establishes them. Real markets require bounded grants, auditable usage, and practical remedies for overreach.

Why this idea is here

What the evidence establishes.

The cited captures document creative agents and multilingual-voice adoption. They do not establish Creator-Owned Style Licenses as a deployed mechanism. The adoption test is whether creators execute time, territory, and use-bounded licenses with enforceable usage reports.
