摘要：The amount of piracy in the streaming digital content in general and the music industry inspecific is posing a real challenge to digital content owners. This paper presents a DRMsolution to monetizing, tracking and controlling online streaming content cross platforms for IPenabled devices. The paper benefits from the current advances in Blockchain andcryptocurrencies. Specifically, the paper presents a Global Music Asset Assurance (GoMAA)digital currency and presents the iMediaStreams Blockchain to enable the secure disseminationand tracking of the streamed content. The proposed solution provides the data owner the abilityto control the flow of information even after it has been released by creating a secure, selfinstalled,cross platform reader located on the digital content file header. The proposed systemprovides the content owners’ options to manage their digital information (audio, video, speech,etc.), including the tracking of the most consumed segments, once it is release. The systembenefits from token distribution between the content owner (Music Bands), the contentdistributer (Online Radio Stations) and the content consumer(Fans) on the system blockchain.
