Why this is canonical

As AI systems generate, remix, and transform content at scale, attribution becomes a moral question as much as a technical one. 'Ethical attribution' names the substrate layer that handles both — the systems and standards governing who is morally accountable for AI outputs. On the agent-era TLD, this string holds the canonical position for that layer.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI content governance and copyright
Attribution systems that encode not just technical provenance but the ethical obligations to creators, sources, and affected parties.
Content platforms, AI governance, copyright and IP technology
Responsible AI accountability
Frameworks for assigning moral responsibility in AI-driven decisions — who is accountable when an AI system causes harm or benefit.
Enterprise AI governance, legal tech, regulated industries

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
