Blockchain copyright solutions for journalists to be created by the NEM Foundation in Argentina

NEM The Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding with CISPREN, a local union of journalists in Argentina to develop a solution based on blockchain for copyright protection. They hope to solve the problems of content theft and failure to pay royalties.

The NEM.io Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in Singapore with members worldwide. The Foundation is dedicated to the continuous development of NEM blockchain technology and the promotion of a vibrant ecosystem of NEM users and developers in governments, universities, industry and the general public. The NEM blockchain software is used in a commercial blockchain called Mijin, which is tested by financial institutions and private companies in Japan and internationally.

According to the press officer of FNEM Argentina, Germán Guismondi, there are no current options ideal for the process. He said:

"For now to keep the content in Blockchain you have to make several movements: register on the platform or on the wallet, upload the article, receive the hash or apostille document … We know that every movement of the mouse reduces the number of users that are encouraged to bring out the process.The interface is always an impediment to the user, the ideal interface is when the action is performed without an "interface"

When asked about the characteristics and usability of the final result, he continued:

"The characteristics of our final product will be: serve to verify the authorship of the content, being the moment of creation and the type of content the most important aspects and an interface so usable that you can save documents in Blockchain with a single click and all this without decreasing the speed of the content publishing process. "

NEM is not the first organization to try to solve this problem. In October 2018, Forbes has partnered with the Civil blockchain platform with the goal of publishing content on a decentralized platform.
