Abstract
The rapid growth of digital content has significantly raised copyright abuses, such as unauthorized copying, transmis- sion of ownership, and distribution. Most traditional copyright protection mechanisms rely on a centralized database that can easily be circumvented, altered, or wiped, ultimately complicating ownership history disputes. This paper presents a Blockchain and AI hybrid model that provides immutable copyright registration and automatic fraud detection through content fingerprinting. On one side, Blockchain offers a decentralized, immutable ownership repository, whereas, on the other side, Artificial Intelligence tackles the task of identifying copied, modified, or plagiarized work through deep learning and pattern matching methods. Experimental results demonstrate that combining blockchain immutability with AI-driven recognition significantly mitigates fraudulent claims, strengthens creator trust, and improves trans- parency and enables a more efficient digital rights management (DRM) process [14], [22]. This work further clarifies how the proposed system is dissimilar to the available systems, thus making it a necessary evolution in digital copyright protection.
