Case Study
CopyrightBank
CopyrightBank is a Copyright Registration and Verification platform for digital works powered by blockchain technology. Copyright works are digitally-fingerprinted, timestamped and registered on the blockchain as Proof of Existence and Proof of Possession. This means, once data has been written to a blockchain no one, not even a system administrator, can change it.
The platform, developed by Asta, enables books, music, photographs, artworks, films, computer programs, databases and other creative works to be digitally fingerprinted on the blockchain as a way to verify ownership — with a launch price of only US$1 per work.
Users can simply register for a free account on CopyrightBank, upload their digital work, get timestamped and registered on the blockchain to receive a certificate of registration.
“As a society, we’re creating more content than ever. Digital content in particular is exceedingly easy to create; anyone with a smartphone is a potential photographer, film-maker or music producer. But the legal protections for content creators haven’t moved with the times accordingly. There needs to be a way for content creators to simply and effectively register their copyrights in order to prove ownership, and this is exactly what we’re providing with CopyrightBank”
