Helping the Music and Entertainment Industry

Digitalage will focus its OOVE™ capabilities on the music and entertainment industry, enabling musicians and filmmakers to fight against piracy and create new revenue streams.

Peter Michaels, CEO, says, "We want to help studios, networks, and streamers empower themselves through OOVE's Digital Rights Marketplace that will pay residual revenues for new and old content. We are reducing the transactional friction between the audience and the creator, fostering new economies beyond the traditional monetization models."

"We're not just developing a platform; we're cultivating an ecosystem," comments Peter Michaels, the current CEO. "Our core belief revolves around personal ownership of data, transparency, child safety, and mental health protection. Decentralized Web3 technologies are the engines driving these radical changes." The company actively fights against child sexual abuse material (CSAM) through deep content analysis capabilities built into its core functionality.

The journey from launching the alpha platform in mid-2021 to the present day has seen the Company demonstrate numerous innovative features and capabilities. Despite the challenges, Digitalage, Inc. has made significant strides toward transforming consumer and business engagement with social media and content distribution. Key to this vision is a commitment to privacy, data ownership, and fair compensation - all powered by the latest technical innovations.

Digitalage, Inc. has also opened a search for a new CEO as Peter Michaels prepares to transition into the role of chairman. The board has already initiated the search for a visionary leader capable of guiding Digitalage through its next chapter of growth and evolution.

Plans for future expansion include launching a fully featured beta platform, followed closely by a public launch and mobile apps. Furthermore, the Company is exploring potential acquisitions in the music and live-streaming entertainment arenas. These growth initiatives are rooted in a firm belief in the transformative potential of decentralized storage and mesh networking.

Investments continue to be made in these groundbreaking technologies to set a new standard for the augmented reality, media distribution, telecommunications, and consumer electronics sectors. The company's focus remains steadfast on the United States, fostering trust and security in a global digital environment where foreign platforms often face scrutiny.

"While these technologies may seem esoteric, their impact is tangible and transformational. We are committed to creating a safe, equitable, and empowering internet for everyone. With the collective expertise of a dedicated team, a proven business model, and a laser-focused growth strategy, the potential for value creation is immense," adds Michaels.
