Two labels, not one. An explicit label a person can perceive — which must persist through download, copy and export — and an implicit label in the file's metadata carrying the provider's name or code and a content reference number. Distribution platforms carry their own duty on top: they verify the metadata, add their own identifiers to content they merely pass on, and show a conspicuous notice around it. Planisphere records each of those acts as a sealed receipt; it does not apply the labels.
