Custos uses the Bitcoin blockchain to help media owners protect their content against piracy, by detecting the original infringer.
Digital media piracy is a $7b problem. Current solutions focus on restricting playback or prosecuting downloaders – with limited success.
Cryptocurrency blockchains make it possible to decentralise the hunt for pirated content, and to securely identify the first uploader.
