Sound Source Plagiarism Verification Solution
Blockchain technology has been revolutionizing the music industry by enabling musicians to have greater control over their work and profits. By eliminating intermediaries, artists can directly monetize their creations and maintain more ownership over their intellectual property. However, the rise of decentralized music-sharing platforms has brought new challenges, such as increased pirated audio file distribution. These platforms have become hubs for unauthorized sharing, with many users uploading copyrighted content without permission due to the absence of audio copy detection mechanisms. This issue has led to a need for effective measures to prevent copyright infringement and protect the rights of musicians.
To address this issue, we have developed an innovative audio detection module using perceptual hash-based technology to generate a unique value for each audio file. Our system, represented as HADES in [1] and has a logo as shown in Figure 1 detects potential infringements by matching their perceptual hash to those already recorded in the database. If the system identifies a copy, it rejects it, preventing copyright infringement. This approach ensures that only original audio files are shared on decentralized music platforms, safeguarding musicians’ rights and reducing the distribution of unauthorized content. The proposed model is illustrated in Figure 2.

Our system has been rigorously tested and effectively detects potential au- dio copies in decentralized music-sharing platforms. Pure Media is highly practical and efficient, making it a highly effective solution for combating copyright infringement in the decentralized music platform. This approach not only protects the intellectual property rights of musicians but also pro- vides availability for musicians to store their original music. In conclusion, blockchain technology has been transformative for the music industry but has also presented new challenges related to copyright infringement. Our innovative approach using perceptual hash-based technology provides a unique solution that ensures that only original audio files are shared on decentralized music platforms. With its proven effectiveness, Pure Media offers a practical and efficient way to combat copyright infringement and protect musicians’ rights in the music industry.
