"When compared to already existing systems of private adjudication, Crowdjury does not sound like science fiction. Valve gaming company developed the Overwatch system to catch cheaters in their game Counter Strike. Evidence analysis is crowdsourced among users from all over the world, who are rewarded by a special currency issued by Valve and useful to buy games in their platform. eBay developed a similar solution for adjudicating conflicts among their users. Facebook has its own user rules and adjudication system.
Overwatch is Valve’s proprietary court solution. It’s like when IBM developed its own proprietary software to run its hardware. Then came Microsoft Windows, a proprietary OS solution that worked with different hardware companies. And finally, Linux, an open source solution. The same process is likely to unravel in the court system. State court systems and Overwatch are like the software developed by each community to solve their own adjudication needs. Crowdjury seeks to generalize such principles and make them accessible to every other community in need of adjudication services.
