Restoring Registration to the Copyright Equation

Restoring Registration to the Copyright Equation

At its core RightsTech is about registries and ledgers. Formal registration with the Copyright Office is no longer required for works to be protected by copyright in the U.S. But as markets for digital works grow more complex and diverse the need for comprehensive, trusted registries of works and rights holders grows more urgent. How can public ledger technologies like blockchain fill that need and help markets flourish?
