In the digital era, content creators struggle to protect their intellectual property due to piracy, unauthorized use, and lack of transparency in ownership rights. Traditional copyright systems rely on centralized authorities, making them vulnerable to manipulation and inefficiencies. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, immutable, and transparent framework for digital copyright protection. This paper explores how blockchain can revolutionize digital content ownership through smart contracts, tokenization (NFTs), and decentralized identity verification. It also examines the challenges, implementation strategies, and the future of blockchain-based copyright protection.
