FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 16, 2026 — Dacr today launched its expanded copyright platform as the company deepens direct partnerships with sovereign governments to deploy and operate Dacr as their official national copyright registry. Already designated in multiple countries, Dacr continues to serve creators directly while bringing official national registration, AI-powered content intelligence, monitoring, forensic evidence, membership and rights-management technology into one connected copyright system. The platform is designed to make registration exceptionally simple while giving creators a stronger rights record and more powerful tools to protect, monitor and enforce their work locally and across borders.

The sovereign-government strategy reflects a central conclusion behind Dacr’s direction: creator technology becomes substantially more powerful when it is part of the country’s official copyright infrastructure. By working directly with governments and serving as the national copyright registry, Dacr can connect simple creator-facing registration with an authoritative national rights record, locally recognized enforcement frameworks, and the technology needed to monitor and document how works are used. Where national law provides registration-linked rights, remedies or procedures, those protections can operate through the same official Dacr system. Dacr’s government work includes national technology and operations as well as legislative policy through the Digital Assertive Copyright Bill.

“Government designation changes what copyright technology can do for creators,” said Solomon Engel, founder and CEO of Dacr. “When Dacr is designated as a country’s official national copyright registry, we can combine a trusted national rights record with stronger enforcement pathways and technology that helps creators find, understand and document the use or misuse of their work. Our goal is to strengthen creators’ ability to protect themselves locally and internationally, wherever their work travels. Dacr AI and DIIS are a major part of that because they give creators a much deeper level of intelligence and forensic evidence around their rights.”

Dacr AI builds a technical identity for every registered work

Dacr AI has been developed as a specialized copyright intelligence layer built directly into the registration infrastructure. Rather than relying on a filename or editable metadata, Dacr AI analyzes the content itself. The analysis changes with the medium. Audio can be separated into stems, transcribed where applicable and analyzed at the component level, including musical notation generated from extracted audio. Video can be examined frame by frame. Images, text and software are analyzed according to the structures that make those works identifiable.

From that analysis, Dacr creates multiple layers of technical identity. The deepest layer is a proprietary digital DNA that remains protected inside Dacr. A proprietary digital fingerprint provides an outward-facing way to recognize a work outside the Dacr environment and can support authorized third-party rights-management systems without exposing the underlying DNA. Genetic File Markers provide another identity and verification layer, with a visual representation displayed as part of the registration while the protected marker logic remains internal.

Together, those layers are designed to recognize meaningful correspondence even after ordinary transformations such as renaming, metadata removal, compression, cropping, clipping, re-encoding or use of only a portion of the original work. Dacr AI can also monitor public internet sources and connected environments for potential matches and notify the rights holder when a result warrants review.

DIIS turns a potential match into a forensic record

When a rights holder wants to investigate a suspected use more deeply, DIIS can compare the registered work against the suspect work and generate a forensic report designed for court-ready evidentiary presentation. The Dacr Match Score provides an overall measure of technical correspondence, but the report does not stop at a percentage. It breaks the comparison into individual findings and shows what matched, where it matched, how strong the correspondence is and why the system considers the relationship technically significant.

For video, DIIS can localize correspondence to specific frames and timecodes. For audio, it can identify matching intervals and, when supported by the evidence, examine relationships at the stem level. Image reports can analyze visual composition and repeated content-level features. Document reports can locate passages and distinguish closer copying from broader paraphrase. Genetic File Marker comparisons add another visual layer, showing the marker pattern associated with the registered work and highlighting corresponding marker elements found in the suspect work.

Dacr describes the AI behind this analysis as a specialized Copyright Superintelligence because it can evaluate many technical dimensions of a work together at a scale that would be extraordinarily difficult and time-consuming to reproduce manually. DIIS translates that machine-scale forensic analysis into a report that creators can understand while preserving the depth needed by attorneys, technical experts, platforms and courts.

“Creators have historically walked into a copyright dispute with a link, a screenshot and the belief that someone copied them,” Engel said. “DIIS is designed to move the conversation from ‘these look similar’ to a technical record showing exactly what corresponds and why. A human still applies legal judgment. Dacr AI brings a level of forensic detail that can make that judgment far more informed.”

DIIS does not make the legal determination that infringement occurred. Permission, fair use, applicable exceptions, jurisdiction and other facts may affect the legal analysis. The system is designed to preserve and explain the technical evidence so the people responsible for making those decisions can evaluate a more complete record.

Dacr’s redesigned web experience is available now, with desktop and mobile applications expected in the coming weeks. The platform also introduces Dacr Membership and the Dacr Membership Card, alongside creator-rights resources, workshops and programs designed to help creators understand ownership, protection and the business of their work.

In Dacr Member States, Dacr operates as the official national copyright registry and national copyright infrastructure. The system can connect official registration with national policy, creator-facing technology and cross-border recognition workflows so that a rights record remains useful as a work moves into additional markets. Dacr said country-specific announcements will follow in coordination with the governments involved, with each announcement addressing the designation, national framework, rollout and creator benefits applicable in that jurisdiction.

Dacr Member State infrastructure is intended to strengthen, not replace, the international copyright framework that already protects creators across borders. Outside Dacr Member States, creators continue to benefit from applicable national law and international frameworks including the Berne Convention and the World Trade Organization’s TRIPS Agreement. WIPO currently lists 182 contracting parties to the Berne Convention. The WTO has 166 members, and TRIPS incorporates most of Berne’s substantive copyright obligations.

The platform, Dacr AI and DIIS are part of the company’s effort to make copyright infrastructure operate at the speed and technical complexity of modern creative work.
