Modeling and Computing Available Rights for Algorithmic Licensing of Movies based on Blockchain

Abstract

We consider the challenge of determining which rights are available for licensing within the context of algorithmic licensing of movies using blockchain technology. We model the space of rights using set theory. We define algorithms within our modelling context that implement basic transactions for our use case, and argue for their correctness. We evaluate our algorithms through experiments within a multi-node Hyperledger Fabric network, and establish the feasibility of our algorithms for the intended use case.
