NILP ARCHITECTURE
Addresses NILP as the framework’s most cross-referenced concept, consolidating positions on NILP into a single canonical specification page covering the four primary rights, eight cip.md fields, and the NILP Downstream Obligation.
The four primary rights
Name protects commercial value of a person’s name including stage names. Image protects photographic and pictorial representations. Likeness is broader — protecting recognisable resemblance across any modality including deepfakes and AI-generated representations. Personality rights vary most across jurisdictions.
The NILP Downstream Obligation
The framework’s most distinctive contribution: NILP liability runs through commercial intermediaries to the rights holder, not just through the AI platform. When a brand commissions AI-generated identity content from a platform without NILP licence cover, the brand is independently liable regardless of platform indemnity.
Eight NILP fields in cip.md
CIP-NILP-Protected, CIP-NILP-Voice-Clone, CIP-NILP-Likeness-AI, CIP-NILP-Deepfake, CIP-NILP-Commercial-Use, CIP-NILP-Licence-Contact, CIP-Consent-Contact, and CIP-Consent-Expires. Each declared per content asset or per layer in Mixed-Rights Blocks.
Sport-vertical NILP
Four jurisdictional regimes: US college athletes (CSC regime, score 97), EU professional athletes (score 95), UK youth academy players (score 92, legally suppressed by safeguarding regimes), International mobile athletes (score 96, multi-jurisdictional exposure).
