The motivation for Hyperstamps comes from our interest in supporting an activity that lets people assert rights or obligations that they hope other people will respect.
Stamps are a time-tested method of asserting property and commerce rights.
They are clear, simple and elegant. Governmentally authorized postal stamps are only one example. Attorneys and law scholars have expressed interest in Hyperstamps. We, and they, believe that property in cyberspace needs definition. Stamps are a good way to help facilitate this.
