Blockchain technologies open new opportunities for media copyright management. To provide an overview of the main initiatives in this blockchain application area, we have first reviewed the existing academic literature. The review shows literature is still scarce and immature in many aspects, which is more evident when comparing it to initiatives coming from the industry. Blockchain has been receiving significant inflows of venture capital and crowdfunding, which have boosted its progress in many fields, including its application to media management. Consequently, we have complemented the review with a business perspective. Existing reports about blockchain and media have been studied and consolidated into four prominent use cases. Moreover, each one has been illustrated through existing businesses already exploring them. Combining the academic and industry perspectives, we provide a more general and complete overview of current trends in media copyright management using blockchain technologies.

翻译：区块链技术为媒体版权管理开辟了新的可能性。为全面梳理该应用领域的主要举措，我们首先对现有学术文献进行了综述。综述显示，现有文献在许多方面仍显匮乏且不成熟，在与行业举措对比时这一现象尤为明显。区块链持续吸引风险投资和众筹资金的大量涌入，这推动了其在包括媒体管理在内的多个领域的进展。因此，我们辅以商业视角来完善此次综述。本文将区块链与媒体相关的现有报告整合为四大显著用例，并通过正在探索这些用例的现有企业进行具体阐述。通过融合学术与行业视角，我们为当前基于区块链技术的媒体版权管理趋势提供了更全面、完整的概述。
