From Call of Duty to Copyright Crusader

Flashback to 2014: Erik’s face is scanned for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Six months later, his digital doppelgänger is being shot at by millions—no consent, no compensation, just a billion-dollar payday for the studio. Instead of rage-tweeting, Erik becomes co-chair of SAG-AFTRA’s New Tech Committee, writing the playbook for protecting 170,000 performers at the dawn of synthetic celebrity.

The Ghost in the Studio

Hollywood’s old guard is outgunned by tech titans who own your digital DNA. Erik’s response? Build ProtectDigitalIdentity.org, rally 850+ signatures, and unite a Creative Coalition of actors, copyright maximalists, and AI existentialists. The mission: lock down consent, provenance, and permissions so tight that even TikTok can’t remix your face without a digital permission slip.

Watermarks, Consent, and Digital Fingerprinting: How to Flow with the Next Wave

Watermarking is dead unless you work it—tied to a manifest that tracks who, what, where, and why. Informed consent is the new currency, enforced by code and law. Erik’s vision: every digital asset protected, every use permissioned at the quantum level. Automation is devouring the creative class. Erik’s answer? Pay-per-click for acting, granular accounting for every stream, and a war chest of union power. Mix Aristotle, Asimov, and labor organizing—and you get Erik Passoja, hacking the future so humanity, not just algorithms, wins.
