Blockchain Technology and Digital Copyright: Navigating Opportunities and Challenges in the New Digital Era

This paper explores the intersection of blockchain technology and digital copyright, examining how blockchain can transform the management and protection of intellectual property in the digital landscape.As digital content proliferates, traditional copyright frameworks face significant challenges, including piracy, unauthorized reproduction, and insufficient enforcement mechanisms.Blockchain offers innovative solutions through its decentralized and immutable nature, enabling transparent tracking of ownership and usage rights.This study analyzes the opportunities presented by blockchain, such as enhanced security, streamlined licensing processes, and improved artist compensation.However, it also addresses the challenges, including regulatory hurdles, technological barriers, and the potential for misuse.By providing a comprehensive overview of these themes, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on digital copyright reform and the role of emerging technologies.
