The Research On News Copyright Protection Mechanism Based On Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is regarded as another creative technology after the Internet.It is expected to transform the "information Internet" into a "value Internet" with a wide range of application scenarios.This essay focuses on the opportunities and potential risks that blockchain technology brings to the field of copyright management of news works.In the digital age of rapid technological development,news copyright is faced with the difficulty of rights registration,discovering infringement,rights protection and transaction,causing the interests of copyright owners cannot be protected,which is not conducive to the development of journalism.This article analyzes the characteristics of the blockchain technology and researches on domestic legal cases using blockchain technology for rights protection,studying some domestic and foreign blockchain copyright protection platforms,including "Beijing Cloud" media platform,Ban Quan Jia,Mediachain and Monegraphs,proposing a “confirmation-transaction-protection”whole-process news copyright management mechanism based on blockchain technology.In confirming the right,the hash value and timestamp give the news piece a unique identity proof.In terms of transaction,the operation of smart contracts enables peer-to-peer transactions without agencies.As for rights protection,blockchain technology can complete the processes of detection,tracking,deposit,and litigation,curbing the infringement effectively.In addition,the essay innovatively proposes to build a "multi-centralized" news copyright alliance chain,and introduces regulators to settle on the blockchain platform.At the same time,technology is a double-edged sword.The article points out that in the process of setting up a news copyright management platform,the following problems should be solved:public perception bias on blockchain technology,insufficient blockchain storage space,severe resource consumption,and privacy security threats.The research also focuses on the challenge of smart contracts to contract law.
