My virtual singer has songs and videos. How do I show they belong to her?
A virtual singer, a VTuber, an AI idol: the character is the brand and the works are the catalogue, and the two are held together by nothing but your say-so. Two years in, with forty tracks and a channel, that is a fragile place to be — for you, and for anyone who might one day buy or licence her.
Two records per work, not one
Each song or video gets its own authorship record first: the file fingerprint, the name it was released under, the date, your contribution if AI helped. That record stands on its own and would survive the character disappearing.
Then a binding record: this work, this character's registry ID, this version of her specification, on this date. It is a second card with a second fingerprint, anchored on its own. The two dates are allowed to differ — the song existed on the 10th, it was bound to her on the 19th — and the gap is itself information. How to prove a song belongs to a character that has no face goes through the reasoning.
What the binding carries
Binding a work runs a set of checks, each recorded as its own dated fact, none of them a judgement about the art:
- Timing — the file's embedded dates, the record date, the character's registration date, in order.
- Attribution — for a linked work, whether the page named the character or you when it was snapshotted.
- Rights — your declaration; for music, both composition and recording.
- Exposure — whether the work was public, and since when.
- Channel — if the YouTube channel or site is verified, whether this work was published there.
- Version chain — which earlier work this one derives from.
Verifying a channel takes a one-time code placed in the channel description or at a well-known URL on your site. Reverse links do not count — a fan page can link to anything. Once verified, new uploads on the channel prompt you to bind them; nothing is bound automatically.
If she is ever sold
On assignment, every work bound to her alone moves with her, records included. A song bound to two of your characters stays with you. The buyer receives the catalogue with its dates and evidence intact, and the public page shows the transfer as a dated event. That is the whole point of doing this early: the catalogue is what makes a character worth buying, and the records are what make the catalogue believable.
我的虛擬歌手有歌和影片，怎麼證明那是她的？
虛擬歌手、VTuber、AI 偶像：角色是品牌，作品是目錄，而把兩者綁在一起的只有你的一句話。做了兩年、四十首歌加一個頻道之後，這是很脆弱的處境——對你，也對任何有一天想買下或授權她的人。
每件作品兩張紀錄，不是一張
每首歌、每支影片先各自拿一張著作紀錄：檔案指紋、發行用的名字、日期、AI 有參與的話你的貢獻。這張紀錄自己站得住，角色消失了它也還在。
然後是一張綁定紀錄：這件作品、這個角色的登記編號、她規格的這個版本、這一天。第二張卡片，第二個指紋，各自上鏈。兩個日期可以不同——歌 10 日就存在、19 日才綁到她身上——那個時間差本身就是資訊。怎麼證明一首歌屬於一個沒有臉的角色把道理講完。
綁定帶著什麼
綁定一件作品會跑一組核對，每一項各自記成一條有日期的事實，沒有一項是對作品內容的評斷：
- 時序——檔案內嵌的日期、紀錄日期、角色登記日期，順序如何。
- 歸屬——連結型作品，快照當下頁面有沒有寫著角色或你的名字。
- 權利——你的聲明；音樂要詞曲和錄音兩項。
- 公開——作品有沒有公開、從什麼時候起。
- 管道——YouTube 頻道或網站驗證過的話，這件作品是不是在那裡發表的。
- 版本鏈——這件衍生自哪一件早先的作品。
驗證管道要把一次性碼放進頻道說明或你網站上的固定網址。反向連結不算——粉絲頁想連誰都可以。驗證之後頻道有新上傳會提醒你要不要綁；不會自動綁任何東西。
如果她有一天被賣掉
讓與時，只綁在她身上的每件作品連同紀錄一起隨她走。同時綁在你兩個角色上的歌留在你這裡。買家收到的目錄，日期和佐證原封不動，公開頁把移轉記成有日期的事件。這就是早點做的意義：目錄是角色值得買的原因，紀錄是目錄可信的原因。
Questions常見問題
Can I bind works I published years ago?幾年前發表的作品可以綁嗎？
Yes. The authorship record takes the date you claim and the file's embedded dates; the binding takes today's date. The gap is recorded, not hidden — an old catalogue bound late is still a catalogue with dates.
可以。著作紀錄收你聲明的日期和檔案內嵌的日期；綁定用今天的日期。時間差照實記錄、不隱藏——晚綁的舊目錄還是一份有日期的目錄。
Does binding check that the song sounds like the character?綁定會檢查歌聽起來像不像這個角色嗎？
No. The platform records statements and facts — dates, names, channels, declarations — and does not judge the content of a work. Whether a song fits a character is for people to decide.
不會。平台記錄的是聲明與事實——日期、名字、管道、宣告——不對作品內容下判斷。一首歌合不合這個角色，是人來決定的事。
Can a work be bound to more than one character?一件作品可以綁在多個角色上嗎？
Yes, a duet for instance. On a sale, a work bound to more than one of your characters stays with you; only works bound to the sold character alone move.
可以，例如合唱。成交時，同時綁在你多個角色上的作品留下；只有只綁在被賣角色上的作品才隨之搬家。
