Re: Copyright blockchain?

To be honest I wasn't thinking in terms of (semi)professional content creators/consumers, as you say they are well served by current systems.

I was thinking more in terms of the sea of content on the internet, most of which was never created with an intent to commercial gain, effectively orphaned works. Just some meta data within the work and a reason to trust that meta data. Something decentralised rather than the IPO's 'we'll take the licence fee and give it to the rights holder if they ever come forward (we just won't ever try to find them...)'
