Blockchain is a new yet rapidly growing technology maintaining a set of records, termed as blocks. These blocks are secured with cryptography.\u00a0 It is obvious that any technology in its nascent stage is expected to offer more and more applications. Blockchain, which is known for its security benefits is on its path to offer path breaking innovation. On the other hand, blockchain is already benefiting various industries, such as retail, healthcare, manufacturing, tourism, and is now on its way to protecting your copyrights. 2018 will see advancements in blockchain for copyright with its fantastic security benefits. Let us take a look at the benefits and features that blockchain provide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What blockchain offers?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Blockchain offers countless advantages<\/a> to various industries. Moreover, the benefits are not only restricted to organizations; they provide positive gains to end user too. Blockchain technology offers disintermediation, which means, they eliminate the third party vendors. This helps lower the transactional costs and enhance transactional security.<\/p>\n

Every block is individually validated and verified before any transaction. Another advantage of blockchain is the availability of systems. Blockchain technology provides greater availability of nodes even if the network is paused. Moreover, any alterations will get reflected across all copies; thus providing a transparent system. This feature keeps hackers away from manipulating the system. Furthermore, blockchain offers faster interbank transactions and eliminates the time required for verification of the entire transactional system.<\/p>\n

What blockchain for copyright means? <\/strong><\/h1>\n

The traditional centralized database involves the intermediaries and fails to maintain the security. There is always this concern and risk of alteration to documents or of plagiarism, resulting in distrust between organizations and users. The issue is addressed well with blockchain technology.<\/p>\n

Blockchain can be used to overcome this security challenges faced with centralized database models. With decentralized ledger, blockchain can maintain all records in an authorized way. The manipulations done to the data will reflect in all blocks, which secures the document from getting stolen or copied. \u201cCustos Media Technologies<\/a> uses blockchain-based technology to register copyright and track illegal use of e-books.\u201d Blockchain technology solves not only copyright issues related to texts but also address problems associated with movies and images.<\/p>\n

If we create a single centralized register to track any alterations made to copyrights, there might arise several issues, such as:<\/p>\n
