SHADOWBOX MOVES FORWARD AS AN OPEN, GLOBAL DATABASE OF RIGHTS-HOLDERS AND THEIR WORKS, BY WHICH ALLOWS SERVICE PROVIDERS/CONTRIBUTORS TO MORE EASILY LICENSE THE WORKS FOR A MULTITUDE OF USE CASES. IN ORDER TO DO SO, A MODERN, MACHINE-READABLE, CONTENT-ADDRESSED METADATA STANDARD IS REQUIRED. SHADOWBOX SEAMLESSLY ENABLES CONTRIBUTORS TO SET DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER PUBLISHING, ASSIGN LICENSES, AND PUSH TO DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS WITH THEIR SELECTED BODY OF WORK, AND PLACE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INTO OUR CATALOG AND CONTENT BANK FOR CONTINUED EARNING OPTIONS (AS APPLICABLE). OUR SHARED MARKETPLACE WILL OPERATE IN THE NATURE OF A “SOCIAL POP UP SHOP”. KINDRED TO THE PASSION FOR “LIMITED” AND “EXCLUSIVE”, WHICH SPEAKS THROUGHOUT OUR PROPRIETARY BUSINESS MODELING AT ALL POINTS, THE NATURE OF A TRADITIONAL “POP UP” SHOPPING OFFERS A STRATEGY INCORPORATING THE LAUNCH OF A TEMPORARY AND/OR SHORT-TERM STOREFRONT, YET IN OUR CASE, EWE OFFER (30) DAY TERMS, WITH NEWLY ADDED FEATURES AND/OR OPTIONS TO EXTEND MERCHANDISE/PRODUCT SALES (COLLABORATIVELY/ SELECTIVELY) THROUGH OUR “VAULT” AND (6) TIER ALTERNATIVE/FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT SYSTEM. PLEASE SEE THE “VAULT” SECTION ON THIS WEBSITE AND/OR ON WHITEPAPER FOR FURTHER DETAILS. BEYOND THE RESEARCH, DATA, AND/OR EXPERIENCE THAT PROVES (80%) OF GLOBAL RETAIL COMPANIES HAVE SUCCEEDED THROUGH USE OF “POP UP” STRATEGY (DIGITAL AND/OR PHYSICAL), SHADOWBOX HAS STRATEGICALLY OPERATED WITHIN THE BORDERS OF A “LIMITED” AND/OR “TEMPORARY”, ON-LINE AGENDA (ACROSS ITS BUSINESS MODELING AND OPERATIONS); AND CONTINUES TO DO SO AS WE ENTER AN EVEN MORE “EXCLUSIVE ERA OF RETAIL”; ANTICIPATED EXPECTED TO GENERATE ($80) BILLION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS GOING FORWARD.
