Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain for Copyright Infringement Detection

Copyright infringement suggests the unauthorized use of protected works, which includes literary, artistic, dramatic, musical works, and sound recordings without the consent of the owner of the work. Various Technologies used effectively to achieve the objective of detecting copyright infringement include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain technology. This study explores the feasibility of the additive technological intervention in the Intellectual Property (IP) domain for the protection of rights. In earlier studies, the accuracy of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in detecting a specific data string in a limited-length document has been recognized and this study analyses the use of ANN in detecting infringement of literary works on the websites. Additionally, the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for the detection of infringement in audio and video content using the camera model identification technology, has been evaluated. Moreover, the use of Blockchain technology can provide a mechanism to create a transparent and secure platform to prevent the dissemination of copyright-protected digital musical works has been discussed. Finally, a framework is recommended and future suggestion has been provided to detect copyright infringement.
