Every real-event image keeps its source, credit, status, local file fingerprints, aspect variants, and correction path. “Published by an official source” does not mean independent reuse permission has been granted.
Each event has an original file plus local 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 variants. The authority ledger stores SHA-256 hashes, dimensions, byte sizes, source credit, and append-only history.
The image appeared on an organizer-controlled page or organizer-linked official registration page. It proves provenance, not a broad copyright license.

Documented permission
Used only when organizer supply, written authorization, or license evidence is retained in the authority record.

Correction or takedown
An organizer or rights holder can create an official-domain claim. DNS proof and human scope review protect both the claimant and the public record; no request silently edits a page.
