Abstract:Everyone in today’s world can enjoy music, videos, and art through a range of Digital platforms. This increases consumption but also creates new problems. There are two major problems: The protection of the author’s copyright and calculating the artist’s income. This paper proposes to build an application to protect content copyright using Blockchain and Ethereum’s Smart Contracts written in Solidity. The paper focuses on music files. The technology secures the copyright of authors and removes the third-party commissions completely. The author receives direct royalty for every consumer who listens to the music. The system is completely decentralized and uses an Interplanetary file system (IPFS) for storing files and every transaction is secure, private, and efficient. The proposed system permits only copyrighted music to be uploaded with the help of Selenium along with Metamask used for handling payments.
