Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a copyright project platform for digital content regardless of the category. This report emphasizes the use of blockchain technology for protecting the rights to digital content. This allows us to leverage blockchain technology to provide an innovative decentralized application (DAPP) that enables users, to secure their intellectual property while maintaining public transparency and authenticity. The system enables users to upload their digital content, which after uploading is protected with a hash that is generated from the content’s unique fingerprint and the creator’s identity. Such metadata, together with the hash of the content and other relevant, such as timestamps, is kept on the blockchain. This provides a consistent and immutable indicator of ownership that can be presented during a copyright infringement or dispute that involves ownership. To further assist the ecosystem, the platform allows third parties to create a “public proof URL” to request usage rights. This capability makes it easy to exploit digital assets, into which third parties may pay for legal use, and royalties are managed in a transparent manner through smart contracts on the blockchain.
