[MarkusJohansson]

1. How is Tari connected to Monero?
   through FLuffypony who was a member of the Monero core team.
2. What are ‘digital assets’, and how are they related to ‘DRM’?
   Exist only in digital form and gives you the right to things online.
3. Riccardo says Tari is ‘a privacy trojan horse’. Explain. (hint: 10:45)
   it is supposed to trick people to get into the Monero ecosystem.
4. What is the incentive for copyright holders (like movie studios) to use Tari?
   Copyright holders can discretly achieve revenue on Tari. But also, like on ETH, creators can build tokens on the blockchain to incentivies people in different ways.

How is Tari connected to Monero?
Tari is being architected as a merge-mined sidechain with Monero

What are ‘digital assets’, and how are they related to ‘DRM’?
They are assets bought and paid for that don’t have any physical form but occupy the digital space in binary form. The purpose of DRM is to prevent unauthorized redistribution of digital media and restrict the ways consumers can copy content they’ve purchased

Riccardo says Tari is ‘a privacy trojan horse’. Explain. (hint: 10:45)
Tari and Monero offer complementary benefits and to each other and this symbiotic relationship results in attracting potential users who may not necessarily have a desire for a privacy coin, but appreciate other features, thereby getting privacy by default. Tari and Monero can grow and develop in ways they could not alone, including in finances and research

What is the incentive for copyright holders (like movie studios) to use Tari?
Privacy of who they hold these rights with and how they compensate them is kept hidden from the public and is untraceable

1. How is Tari connected to Monero? Tari is a digital asset focused protocol that is designed as a merge mined side-chain with Monero.
2. What are ‘digital assets’, and how are they related to ‘DRM’? Digital assets live their life digitally. DRM always gives access to the digital asset.
3. Riccardo says Tari is ‘a privacy trojan horse’. Explain. Because where Monero is present, Tari can get them into ecosystem. Tari tricks the user into using privacy tools.
4. What is the incentive for copyright holders (like movie studios) to use Tari? Because of the privacy acts, it serves their interest and are making money on top of Tari.

3. Riccardo says Tari is ‘a privacy trojan horse’. Explain. (hint: 10:45)
By tricking people to get into the Monero ecosystem

You missed one question

[MarcisB]

1. How is Tari connected to Monero?

• It is a sidechain of Monero;
• fluffypony was also one of the core developers of Monero;
• There are developers in Monero community that like the project and are getting involved;
• Monero community principles are present in Tari;
• Tari uses the same CDN (content delivery network?);
• Tari supports Monero Research Lab.

2. What are ‘digital assets’, and how are they related to ‘DRM’?

• They are assets with some intrinsic value which live their life only digitally.
• All digitally available content can be seen as digital asset if copyrights apply.

3. Riccardo says Tari is ‘a privacy trojan horse’. Explain. (hint: 10:45)

• Digital asset trading on Ethereum blockchain is growing more popular. It is, though, completely transparent.
• People in general don’t care about privacy. Riccardo mentions that his previous approach of simply explaining privacy and related threats have not been very successful.
• If people would use Tari instead of transparent blockchains for their digital assets, they would get decent privacy without even thinking about it. But, Tari must have other attractive traits.

4. What is the incentive for copyright holders (like movie studios) to use Tari?

• They can make money when an asset changes hands;
• Their earnings are secret (also to tax authorities);
• They can offer lifetime access to their products (more value for customers).

@MarcisB

Tari uses the same CDN (content delivery network?);

Yes, basically they share it and Tari pays for it.

[Ongdanhchet]

1. Tari is a digital assets blockchain that is private, open source, and merge-mined as a side chain of Monero.

2. Digital assets are assets that live their entire life as digital, such as loyalty points, in game currencies, collectibles, or software licenses. DRM lets you access the assets.

3. Tari is a privacy trojan horse because people in general don’t care much about privacy so they need to trick people into using privacy enhancing tools. In this case people will want to use Tari for other features and end up using Monero which gives them privacy, because Tari is a side-chain on Monero.

4. The incentive for copyright holders to use Tari is the privacy of who they hold it with, and they can receive a share when their assets are sold, and companies will start lobbying for pro privacy regulations because it will help them make money.

[matty.t]

1. Tari is a digital assets focused blockchain that is built on Rust, private by default, open source and is being architected as a merge mined sidechain of Monero

2. Digital assets as the name implies, assets that don’t have any physical form and are digital. For example, in game items, NFT, game currencies, etc. DRM lets you access these assets.

3. Most people don’t really care about using privacy tools and privacy. They need to trick people to using it, that is why Tari is a privacy trojan horse. It tricks people in using Tari, in which people end up using Monero which gives people privacy.

4. The incentives for copyright holders are:

• Receive a share of money when their digitals assets are sold
• Money they earn can be kept private and not traceable

[looperdave]

Tari is an ecosystem for creating, storing and transacting with digital assets. The Tari blockchain is a side chain to monero that is merge mined. The two ecosystems are very different and yet highly related. Monero represents a blockchain that provides anonymous, secure, private transactions. Tari itself is a decentralized digital asset ecosysytem that participates along with and in many cases supports the monero community, its principles, and leverages its security. a digital asset is defined as an asset, or representation of an asset that lives its entire life-cycle digitally.Examples not only include cryptocurrency but also such concepts as intellectual property, in game collectibles and features, non fungible tokens like collectibles, and even such future possibilities as digital deeds, loyalty points and even digital securities. Digital Rights Management is an entire field that seeks to maintain and prove ownership of mostly intellectual property like music film, and software and other copywritten material. People and their growing interest in protecting their ownership rights of such materials are naturally being drawn toward more useful an innovative privacy management tools.
Tari can bring more awareness and interest in privacy management by default, acting like a trojan horse to usher in adoption of this very important technology by appealing to the interest in people to protect what they own. In an increasingly digital world, a strong security plan is necessary. In particular to the interest of copyrite intellectual property, the true owner who is registered digitally would be able to utilize a custodial feature, allowing them to prove that the property is theirs, to provide greater market exposure to the asset, and to be able to transact using the implied value of that asset directly.

Naveen Jain : Early monero miner, online marketing
Dan Teree : World class entrepreneur, ticketing industry veteran and Monero Ringmaster
Riccardo Spagni : Member of the Monero Core Team, the stewards of the Monero Project, and the lead maintainer of the Monero and Monero Core projects.
2.
A digital asset is any asset that dosnt physically exist only exists digitally.
3. Tari is a privacy trojan hourse for the benifit of those who understand the importance of priacy.
4. The incentive for copy writers to use tari is that by doing so they can keeps things private such as revenue for the purpose of paying less tax.

[Emmerich]

1. It will be merge-mined by Monero.

2. Examples of digital assets are things like cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens such as collectibles, songs from musicians, software licenses, anything that has value and is digital. Often these digital assets are managed by third parties that take a significant cut (label companies for musicians for example) as payment for marketing the assets. This stands in contrast with DRM which controls many digital assets.

3. He means that by using Tari people will be “tricked” into privacy. They will use privacy features without being aware of it.

4. They control their own assets and stipulate the conditions in which they should be marketed and sold.

[Alko89]

@Ross-mathews

Tari is a privacy trojan hourse for the benifit of those who understand the importance of priacy.

I would argue its more for those that don’t understand it because it forces people to use privacy without knowing.

[Petr_Krulis]

1.architected as a merge-mined sidechain with Monero
2.digital entitny owned by individual or company thus protected by law about using it , copyping etc.
3.basically to show people they need of privacy for them
4.allows them to be protected against theft copying etc , so they can actually get the income from any work they have the copyright to.

[JRSmith88]

1. -infusion of community members
   -technical sounding board
   -carrying over of monero principles
   -leverage of monero security model
   -atomic swaps provide strong base privacy

2. -they are things you can buy or earn, but exist entirely in digital forms for its lifecycle
   -it relates to drm in the sense that it can be applied to something that you buy digitally
   like software, and should enable you to be able to have access to that
   software(tokenised) at any time.

3. because you basically have to “trick” people into privacy-enhancing tools.

4. they can keep digital ownership of copyright on the blockchain. potential to change
   regulations and even extend copyright timeframes by 4x.

1. How is Tari connected to Monero?
   Naveen Jain, Dan Teree, Riccardo Spagni

2. What are ‘digital assets’, and how are they related to ‘DRM’?
   tickets, loyalty points, game items, cryptoasset

3. Riccardo says Tari is ‘a privacy trojan horse’. Explain. (hint: 10:45)
   is merged mined sidechain with monero

4. What is the incentive for copyright holders (like movie studios) to use Tari?
   get fees when their asset is used

[Alko89]

@enrico

is merged mined sidechain with monero

That is basically how its connected to Monero (besides being developed by the fluffiest ponies of them all)
As stated its a privacy trojan horse because it forces users to use privacy without them knowing.

1.)
Tari is a digital assets focused blockchain protocol that is built in Rust, private by default,
open source, and is being architected as a merge-mined sidechain with Monero.

2.)
Digital assets live their life digitally.

-in game items
-in game currencies
-Licenses
-collectables NFT´s

DRM always gives access to the digital asset.

3.)
Tari could bring people and companies into an anonymous ecosystem where Monero is accessible.

4.)
Big companies could keep their copyrights anonymously and for all eternity on the blockchain.

[leemac]

1. Tari is a merge mined sidechain of Monero

2. Digital assets only have a digital existence. A DRM license is a digital asset

3. Most people don’t realize they need privacy so need to trick people into using privacy-enhancing tools

4. If copyright holders use Tari then their earnings are private so it serves their interest
