How AI and Blockchain Safeguard Creativity

In today's world, where digital content creation is booming, the intersection of AI and blockchain offers an unprecedented opportunity to protect intellectual property (IP). However, with this evolution, challenges like plagiarism, unauthorized use, and legal disputes over content ownership have become increasingly prominent. Let's explore how AI-powered platforms like MYREELDREAM leverage blockchain technology to safeguard creativity and establish trust.

Litigation Examples: The Cost of Unprotected Creativity

CASE 1: Katy Perry VS Flame (2018)

In 2019, Katy Perry faced a copyright lawsuit when the Christian rapper Flame alleged that her song Dark Horse infringed on his track Joyful Noise. The jury initially ruled in Flame's favor, awarding him $2.8 million in damages. Although Perry eventually won her appeal, the case highlighted how creators often face expensive and lengthy litigation over intellectual property disputes.

CASE 2: Andy Warhol Foundation VS Lynn Goldsmith (2022)

The estate of artist Andy Warhol was sued by photographer Lynn Goldsmith over his unauthorized use of her photo of Prince in his artwork. The court ruled in favor of Goldsmith, emphasizing the importance of obtaining proper permissions even when content is transformed artistically.

CASE 3: AI-Generated Artwork Ownership Disputes

As AI-generated art becomes more prevalent, ownership disputes have emerged between AI developers, users who prompt the AI, and artists whose work was used to train the AI. These cases highlight the need for clear ownership frameworks in the age of artificial intelligence.

How Blockchain Can Mitigate These Risks

1. Establishing Ownership Through NFTs

Blockchain technology uses non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to provide a digital certificate of ownership and authenticity for creative works. When a video, script, or movie is created on MyRealDream.ai, it can be minted as an NFT, ensuring:

Provenance

The blockchain records the origin of the content, proving ownership and creation.

Tamper-Proof

Once an NFT is minted, it cannot be altered or duplicated.

Transferability

Ownership can be securely transferred while maintaining a transparent record of transactions.

Verification

Anyone can verify the authenticity and ownership history of the content.

2. Automated Smart Contracts

Smart contracts on the blockchain automate licensing and royalty payments, ensuring that creators are compensated whenever their content is used. For example, if a ShortReel video is reused for commercial purposes, the creator automatically receives royalties.

• Automatic royalty distribution to all contributors
• Transparent payment history stored on the blockchain
• Customizable licensing terms encoded in the smart contract
• No need for intermediaries or collection agencies

3. IP Protection for Scripts and Movies

Scripts, documentaries, and full-length movies created on MyReelDream.ai are also minted as NFTs. This prevents unauthorized use and establishes clear ownership. If a script is pitched to a producer, its NFT ensures that the original creator is credited and compensated.

4. Preventing Plagiarism

Blockchain's immutable ledger provides a public and verifiable record of who created what, reducing the chances of plagiarism or false claims of ownership.
