Insight - Ownership in the digital environment is precarious as many users are prone to pirate content and sidetrack paywalls. This is particularly affecting creative practitioners and digital content creators financially. Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic which has ensured the economic stagnation of the industry, many individuals are looking for new and innovative ways to sell their work, while also gaining some control of it on the Internet.
