In the contemporary world the issues of copyright and related rights protection have become indeed pressing. Copyright and related rights objects quite often cost a lot and it means their usage allows their owners to get a large profit. So an owner is highly motivated to establish a maximally full control over a legal fate of these immaterial benefits. Achievement of such control is exercised, on the one hand, by demands to observe the right of authorship regarding the object created, and on the other hand, due to the prohibition against its unauthorized use that valid for all third parties. Changing the cyberspace parameters that resulted in appearing of a new digital form of intellectual product, application of new digital ways of using copyright and related rights objects, domination of computer networks in the dissemination of intellectual products have considerably weakened and sometimes brought to nought an owner's control over the use of a creative result. In the opinion of a great number of researchers the discussed problems may be successfully solved by means of blockchain technology. The Russian Federation has already started to apply blockchain technology in the sphere of intellectual property. This article is intended for discussing the blockchain technology platforms being used for copyright and related rights protection.
