HOW BLOCKCHAIN

CAN TACKLE

PIRACY

As a peer-to-peer network , blockchain technology essentially eliminates any central authority . The benefits of a P2P network is that it provides features without using one single server , but instead works by distributing the media content .

Akash Takyar , CEO of LeewayHertz – a software developer for startups and enterprises – explains how “ video content curators benefit from the decentralised mechanism of blockchain , because they directly publish and deliver the video content to their audience without any intermediary intervention or central server ”.

Takyar suggests that , with a P2P network , “ the probability that one stream can split and get scattered is higher . This happens because the replication rate of the video streaming is higher in P2P than it is in the client-server CDN structure . Creators and audience – both parties have access to join the blockchain network without any intermediate controller ”.
