This isn't so much copyright as it is proof of published works, right? There is no legal basis for someone trying to copyright a name or slogan on the chain - but, the idea is publishing your work with a time stamp allows you to show you were the original creator of a work (whereas previously, you may have done the old author trick of sending yourself a sealed copy in certified government mail). It's still a nice implementation, and good to see Blockstack used, although I am a bit confused in how you are using Ethereum. It seems the storage of the document is stored in Blockstack and matched to a Blockstack ID so how does Ethereum come into play?

@adamscochran Definitely you are right. We are NOT sure whether the proof from blockchain can be recognized by every country's law, as law is centralized. But we build BlockRight in order that decentralized proof can be legally recognized and privacy can be kept. I believe someday when we can practically register copyrights on our own with blockchain-based system. As to the Ethereum question, it provides the timestamp whereas Blockstack storage doesn't have. Blockstack storage doesn't work on a blockchain. So I hash the document, and put the hash into Ethereum only for a timestamp in some degree.

This is not enforceable in any way though, right? It's more like "hey I promise I was the first one, kay?" 🤔

@rdev No, it's not enforceable. It is useful when the author finishes the works, before publishing the works, she could keep the proof of original creation. But perhaps someday it becomes enforceable because of public acceptance on blockchain.

The product is enrolling in the Blockstack App Mining program. It looks very easy to use, which is essential for authors. From the technological point of view and also from the design point of view I just can say that I am impressed. Registration is something important for authors although many are not really aware, publishers are more conscious of the benefits because they have the means to claim for copyrights.

Nice work. Wouldn't this be the perfect match on Bitcoin SV instead with OP_RETURN that has plenty of space for any templates or data. Basically unbounded what can be uploaded or signed (hashed). Look at legallychained.com or easysign.io.
