The Lancers is a musical in three acts. The musical's book by Rida Johnson Young and J. Hartley Manners was adapted from Augustin Daly's 1881 play The Passing Regiment. Daly's play itself was based on
1. Compute SHA-256 of OTSCanonicalRecord value → must equal OTSHash 2. Open OTSProofURL → extract Bitcoin block number → must equal OTSBitcoinBlock 3. GET OTSBitcoinBlockVerifyURL → returns the Bitcoin block hash at height OTSBitcoinBlock; GET https://blockstream.info/api/block/{that hash} → its timestamp must match OTSTimestamp 4. Read CopyrightID inside OTSCanonicalRecord → must equal the CopyrightID above 5. GET OTSVerificationAPI → pre-computed 6-check result from server 6. If all match: this entity was registered on CopyrightChains at OTSTimestamp, independently verifiable on Bitcoin
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0x64b535b5c5f42627049671d8cf0f3c69363874bde638d9753130811ef5528e3d. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 954556 (2026-06-20T12:14:15Z).

1. Confirm isrcCode identifies the recording in the pre-2022 source corpus and cc-db-prod record 2. GET OTSVerificationAPI → server-side canonical-record, hash, and attestation checks must pass 3. GET OTSBitcoinBlockVerifyURL → returns the Bitcoin block hash at height OTSBitcoinBlock; GET https://blockstream.info/api/block/{that hash} → its timestamp must match OTSTimestamp 4. Confirm CopyrightID is the CopyrightChains transaction hash 5. If all match: the cc-db-prod record is independently anchored on Bitcoin at OTSTimestamp
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0x6bfb9ac7a04bfeb804fd32639fbfb33e974ee44e9a72bfc55e101d9b8d82339d. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 956576 (2026-07-04T02:06:47Z), registered by our registry partner.
