Research on digital copyright protection based on the hyperledger fabric blockchain network technology

Abstract

With the recent development in network technology over a few years, digital works can be easily published online. One of the main issues in the field of digital technology is the infringement of digital works, which can seriously damage the data owners’ rights and affects the enthusiasm of the owners to create original work. Thus, more attention is required for the protection of digital copyright as it has a great impact on the development of society. Many digital copyright protection techniques were developed in the past, but still, there are many loopholes in the protection systems to be covered. The protection means are still relatively weak, timeliness is poor, infringement is frequent, a right determination is cumbersome, and the results are not ideal. Aiming at the mentioned problems, this paper proposes a protection technique, which can realize the automatic management of the complete digital rights life cycle on the blockchain using fabric's smart contract technology. The proposed system is based on blockchain technology, which leverages the distributed, tamper-proof and traceable characteristics of blockchain. The system uses smart contracts to manage the full life cycle of digital copyright. The test results show that the proposed system provides effective protection of the digital copyright system and can efficiently confirm the rights of digital copyright.

Recent Advances in Steganography

“…i v. Proof of Ownership: Embedding distinct and chronologically recorded data into digital assets provides undeniable evidence of ownership, hence potentially bolstering legal assertions in the event of infringement [52].…”

“…Numerous steganographic methods are utilised for intellectual property (IP) protection [21,27,52]: i. Text-based Techniques: Ownership information or access codes can be incorporated into text documents such as patents, design specifications, or source code by changing punctuation, character spacing, or font attributes.…”

Using IPFS and Hyperledger on Private Blockchain to Secure the Criminal Record System

“…They used a text chain to implement their system and the test chain is not secure and acceptable as a Blockchain. In paper [10], using fabric's smart contract technology, this study presents a protective mechanism for automating the whole digital rights life cycle on the Blockchain. In paper [11] In the data, this paper helps us to prevent unlawful changes.…”

Decentralized Global Copyright System Based on Consortium Blockchain With Proof of Authority

“…A vulnerability of this approach is that a dishonest party can register the content in their name before the content owner once the content is uploaded to IPFS. Liu et al [28] proposed digital copyright protection based on hyperledger fabric. In their system, registration is also prerequisite for copyright protection.…”
