Consumers are replicating their daily physical habits in the virtual realm—assigning a growing value to digital assets and giving rise to new direct-to-avatar (D2A) business models. How people keep things are changing and awareness toward digital assets protection increased. And Unlike US copyright law, China enforces that who registers first owns the copyright. That means if you don’t copyright your content, others could steal your content and cause financial damage. VANGUARD is a one-stop station for virtual possessions management, providing an affordable and simple digital legal service to protect digital assets.
