An Internet court in Hangzhou, in eastern China, has converted to blockchain to combat piracy at the expense of online writers, the release of the media in English. China.org.cn reports December 8th.
According to reports, China has set up three Internet courts in Hangzhou, Beijing and Guangzhou. "Internet courts are courts specifically designed to handle Internet-related cases and allow plaintiffs to file their complaints online.
The official website of the Hangzhou Internet Court states that "it behaves well[s] as an "incubator" for the governance of the Internet space, a "test field" for Internet court rules, a "leader" for diversified Internet disputes and a "first engine" for the transformation of experimentations on the Internet ".
Hangzhou, whose Internet Court plans to use a copyright blockchain system, is "the home of many, if not many, online writers in China," according to China.org.cn. The news reports that 107 "famous" online writers work in a "village of writers" in the Binjiang district of the city.
The article above explains that online writers are often damaged by piracy, and it is often difficult for them to prove to be the original authors of any text. The writers used "to resort to screenshots and content downloaded as evidence", but this is a weak test as it can easily be falsified, notes China.org.cn.
Wang Jiangqiao, an Internet court judge, said "the blockchain ensures that data can not be tampered with [with] […] all fingerprints stored in the judicial blockchain system […] have legal effects, "specifically specifying the ability to trace" paternity, creation time, content and evidence of violation ".
Wang Jiangqiao's statement is in line with the Chinese Supreme Court ruling at the beginning of September, according to which the blockchain can legally authenticate the evidence.
As Cointelegraph has previously reported in an analysis, the use of blockchain to counter piracy in online media is not new.
A Russian startup is also working on a blockchain-based copyright network in Uzbekistan. The project will begin by digitizing patents and archiving them on the chain before moving on to intellectual property protection.
