Sony Builds Digital Rights Management System on a Blockchain

Japanese electronics giant Sony has developed a new blockchain-based digital rights management system that may see commercial rollout.

According to a press release from the firm Monday, the system will help manage copyright-related information for digital content, citing educational content as a prime use case.

Using the platform, participants will be able to share and verify information such as date and time of creation, and the author’s details. It will also automatically verify the rights generation of a piece of written works, the firm adds.
