Odaily Planet Daily News: The Beijing Blockchain Technology Application Association and the Social Sciences Academic Press recently jointly released the "Blockchain Blue Book: China Blockchain Development Report (2023)" in Beijing. The Blue Book believes that for the various legal issues currently existing in the digital cultural industry (such as new piracy models that make piracy more decentralized and hidden, and more difficult to crack down on; each link of online piracy is more subdivided, and it is more difficult to determine responsibility, etc.), blockchain technology may provide a lower-cost and more efficient solution. Using blockchain technology, works can be confirmed through timestamps and hash algorithms to prove the existence, authenticity and uniqueness of a piece of text, video, and audio. Once the rights are confirmed on the blockchain, subsequent transactions of the work will be recorded in real time, and the entire life cycle of the cultural and creative industry can be traced and tracked, which provides a strong technical guarantee and highly credible evidence for IP rights proof and judicial evidence collection.
