Blockai now allows online content creators to claim cryptographic proof of their works to be recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain so that it gives basic copyright protection which can help owners remove copyright violations.
Registering a copyright with Blockai will remain free forever. “The blockchain is the perfect solution for providing proof of creation. It’s a permanent immutable record. Meaning, once the record is there, it’s there forever and will never change.” Copyright protection as profitable business

Copyright registration is one of the most important parts of the world economy which protects all creative works such as art, photos, songs, videos, literature, architecture and computer software.
Earlier this year Blockai raised $547,000 in seed funding to relaunch as a Blockchain copyright service in March. This was after changing from its initial plan to be a ‘Netscape for Bitcoin’ in 2015 which will turn the Blockchain into a kind of social media stream that would allow users to send messages and authenticate items.

In a future where creative work is more fulfilling, Blockai aims to help artists earn a good living by creating and publishing to the web particularly from websites that share their profit of revenues from creative works.
