[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] PPSAI - Reveal requests

I know, but it is also one of the more difficult areas to check as there 
is no central repository. So as a provider, all we see is claims that 
could be either true or false and that have to be taken at face value.

And even when an artist believes he holds all rights in a title and goes 
after infringing parties, he can still be found to have ripped it off 
someone else and be ordered to pay millions to the other artist.
