Creators can't prove it.
Your work trains AI models without consent, attribution, or payment. Opt-out tools like Glaze and robots.txt don’t scale. There’s no system of record.
Source Layer · UK
The UK's compliance infrastructure for AI-era content licensing. Creators prove ownership. AI developers license legally. Everyone wins.
Proof of craft in the AI age.
The infrastructure gap
01
Your work trains AI models without consent, attribution, or payment. Opt-out tools like Glaze and robots.txt don’t scale. There’s no system of record.
02
Companies building AI want to do the right thing but there’s no legal pathway. No standardised licensing. No way to verify what’s in their training data.
03
Catalogues worth millions are being ingested at scale. Labels and publishers have no infrastructure to detect usage, enforce rights, or negotiate licensing at the speed AI moves.
04
The EU AI Act (Art. 53, August 2026) mandates training data disclosure. The UK rejected broad TDM exceptions. Compliance is no longer optional — but the infrastructure doesn’t exist yet.
Source Layer is the compliance infrastructure that connects all three sides: creators who own it, AI developers who need it, and the regulations that require it.
How it works
01 · PRV
Provenance
Register your work with a cryptographic fingerprint and C2PA content credential. Immutable proof of creation, timestamped and tamper-proof. The foundation layer that everything else is built on.
02 · DET
Detection
Continuous scanning of AI training datasets and model outputs. When your work appears, you get evidence-grade detection reports — ready for compliance verification or enforcement.
03 · LIC
Licensing
The infrastructure that makes legal AI training possible. Standardised licensing templates, usage-based royalties, and EU AI Act compliance documentation — all through a single integration.
For creators
01 · MUSIC
Musicians & Songwriters
Your catalogue has value. Know when AI trains on it. Get paid when they use it.
02 · VISUAL
Visual Artists & Illustrators
Glaze failed. We don't poison — we prove and protect.
03 · WORDS
Authors & Writers
Your words trained their model. Now you can prove it.
04 · LABELS
Labels & Publishers
Bulk-register your catalogue via API. Get continuous detection reports. License to AI developers through standardised infrastructure — not one-off deals.
Starting with music. Expanding to visual art, text, gaming, and film.
For AI developers
01 · COMPLY
Art. 53 mandates training data disclosure from August 2026. Source Layer provides the compliance documentation and audit trail you need — before the deadline.
02 · LICENSE
Access properly licensed creative content through a single API. Standardised terms, usage-based pricing, no more chasing individual rights holders.
03 · VERIFY
