Just wanted to see what some users think about this idea. Essentially, it's like Google Drive or Dropbox, but specifically designed for sharing audiobooks, music, and podcasts among professionals/teams that are meant to be working on it. Each uploaded file is watermarked uniquely for each user.

Process overview:
  1. User Onboarding:
    • User completes payment and registration.
  2. Project Setup:
    • User creates a new folder/project and uploads the desired .mp3 or .wav file for sharing.
  3. Sharing and Permissions:
    • User invites another person to access either a specific file or the entire project.
    • User assigns permissions, such as:
      • Whether the invitee can download the file.
      • Whether the invitee can only listen to the file.
      • Whether the invitee can grant permissions to others and re-share the file.
    • Example: An artist or podcaster sharing content with their label, team, or friends before official release.
  4. Watermark Customization:
    • User can adjust the opacity of the watermark and its prominence in the audio. (I wonder if it's possible to have an unnoticeable watermark?)
    • Once shared, the audio file includes a unique, generated watermark.
  5. Additional Sharing:
    • If permissions allow the invitee to further share or invite others, a unique watermark is generated for each new invitee.
  6. Leak Identification:
    • In the event of a leak, the user can upload the leaked audio to trace which specific watermark was assigned to the culprit.
  7. Legal Actions:
    • Users can definitively prove a certain user leaked this audio. Initiate legal proceedings or remove the offending party from the project/team.
What do you guys think? I dig it, looking for a bit of validation from people here before creating a quick landing page with a waitlist to see if the market would be interested in this tool. Thus far, it's not apparent if this already exists, I think it's niche enough that Google/Dropbox wouldn't implement this functionality of watermarking. Other audio watermarking options exist but are software based and requires some know-how. Other options exist that place a watermark on top of the audio, but no way to really track it or know who had access other than keeping tabs yourself which is impossible once sent out.
