Abstract

Creative works such as webtoon and web novel are part of property rights. However, illegal copies of them are distributed on the internet easily, which raises social issues in today’s society. In order to tackle these problems, this paper proposes and presents a blockchain based copyright management system that ensures forgery prevention, robust security features, improving trading performance, cost-effective, and enhanced visibility. The system allows a user to register creative works formally just the same as before registration and also to register simple creative ideas just anytime. In the latter case, if an idea or a thought flashes across through somebody's mind, he or she can register it to the system immediately without formal registration process and afterward, can utilize a way to prove its originality through the system. Regarding large size images and video files of creative works, the system reduces data size and storage volume sharply to be processed by network entities by storing original creative works separately and including only the hash result of creative works to the transactions.
