Blockai's copyright protection solution based on blockchain

Rage Review : Blockai is a startup dedicated to providing copyright protection measures based on blockchain for American artists to make up for the shortcomings of the existing government system. Of course, it is not the only player in this field. Mediachain provides solutions for the intellectual property protection of digital works, as well as other solutions such as land use rights protection, house property rights protection, company equity registration, etc. The unique validity and immutability of blockchain have become key factors in its application in these fields.

Most artists in the United States cannot afford the copyright registration fees with the US Copyright Office. Although the Internet makes it easier to create and share art, it cannot protect individual copyrights, and the biggest beneficiaries of the Internet's progress are large companies, not artists.

Blockai hopes to change the status quo by helping creators register and protect their works on the blockchain. The current copyright law is still vague and business-centric, and artists do not need to register with the copyright office. Therefore, Blockai does help prove personal copyright and deal with possible legal disputes.

Nathan Lands, CEO and co-founder of Blockai, said:

"We're not trying to replace the Copyright Office's important copyright registration. In the United States, if you want to get damages from a lawsuit, you need government registration. But there are many ways to protect copyright besides going to court."

Blockai uses the global method of verifying Bitcoin transactions (blockchain) to help artists easily timestamp their works and detect attackers who infringe on intellectual property rights.

After registration, you will receive a copyright certificate with a permanent timestamp to prove the creation time of the work. Blockchain technology ensures that the records cannot be tampered with, so there is no need to worry about lawsuits. Lands said, "Our mission is to help artists turn copyright into property."

In addition to monitoring Bitcoin transactions, blockchain has a wide range of applications. It is not yet known whether it will win the copyright battle, but at least it is an idea that can upgrade copyright protection methods instead of being stuck in the old copyright protection system from the 1970s.
