In an age where anyone can snap a photo and post it online, photographers are increasingly at risk of having their work stolen and used without permission. This is where blockchain comes in. By embedding digital watermarks or other identifying information into photos using blockchain technology, photographers can better protect their copyrighted images. If someone tries to steal a photo, the embedded information will help to prove that the photographer is the rightful owner. In addition, blockchain-based copyright protection systems could be used to automatically enforce copyright law, meaning photographers would no longer have to spend time and money manually enforcing their rights. As blockchain technology continues to grow, it may offer new opportunities for photographers to safeguard their work from theft.

In addition to providing copyright holders compensation, blockchain could also help reduce copyright infringement. By making it easy to track who owns the copyright to a particular work, blockchain would make it much easier for people to obtain permission before using someone else’s work. And since copyright infringement often occurs because people are unaware they’re infringing on someone else’s copyright, this could go a long way toward reducing the problem.

Ultimately, blockchain has the potential to revolutionise copyright protection. By making it easy to track ownership and ensure compensation, blockchain could help uphold the rights of copyright holders while reducing infringement.
