We’re going to need some legal word smithing on the order of the #GPL and the #CreativeCommons licenses to make a false statement an offence in as many ways and jurisdictions as possible (any ideas, #lawFedi folks?), some #EXIF and #ID3v2 and #PNG and comparable metadata tags for carrying legal statements attesting to non-use of media synthesis (mislabelled as #genAI by GPT vendors and NPU/TPU manufacturers), some apps to interview and educate the user about media provenance and add those tags iff applicable, and some #Fediverse and web browser add-ons to filter out media lacking them unless verifiably produced before a given date.

The #ID3v1 tag occupies 128 bytes, beginning with the string TAG 128 bytes from the end of the file.
The #ID3v2 tags are of variable size, and usually occur at the start of the file, which aids streaming media.
A #cover #artwork would be in the later format, so that after truncating the beginning of the file to the announced size, the remaining end of the file match the torrent pieces:
