This is great for anyone creating original content published on the net. Far more powerful than the standard © copyright symbol, it registers and declares you as the irrefutable owner of your work.
What if a PDS became more than a repository for posts? We propose using AT Protocol as a creator-controlled publication layer for declaration metadata describing digital works, making rights, provenance, and other trusted metadata independently verifiable and easier to discover.

Whereas AT Protocol is decentralized in practice because your data is stored on your PDS, and you can always move your data, even without the PDS's cooperation, because the data is all signed by an identity that the PDS does not control or at least, can have alternative control.
