“…The glittering market scope on the cyber space has attracted CMOs to promote the usage of digital / online music consumption channels and support right owners, especially the upcoming creators to host their own online music channels as a way to promote the works of their members, which is an open space for downloading and live streaming of the works (Watson, 2015). This requires an intelligent data security model with a different protection set of practices that limit access to those who have permission to access it for efficiency in copyright management and royalty allocation among multiple copyright holders in cyberspace which is a virgin environment for piracy (Kapsoulis et al, 2020) 2.7 Summary matrix for the existing systems According to most computer-based Collective management Organization systems, the existing system is insufficient to cater for the increasing duties of CMOs, and thus with them in use, CMOs are likely to encounter some problem that will affect the smooth operation of the organization as well as their annual target objectives. Tariffing, licensing, record keeping, and material handling are all examples of duties.…”

Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) negotiate and collect royalties for intellectual works on behalf of its owners. These royalties fund Collective Management Organizations (CMO) activities, with portions going to copyright holders and the government (VAT). Higher education institutions make substantial contributions to copyright as makers and users of copyrighted works. CMOs attempt to collect royalties from these creators in order to preserve their confidence. Throughout the royalty collection process, Collective Management Organizations (CMO) engage with and gather a large amount of user data. This paper suggests a copyright user licensing approach to help Ugandan CMOs manage their licensing operations. The model includes gathering user information, determining requirements, and granting licenses. Data security in the central database is a major concern. Object-oriented programming (OOAD) is used to develop a trial system for user evaluation. The project involved collaboration with CMO staff, copyright users, and IP practitioners across several African countries. Feedback was gathered through interviews, focus groups, and user testing of a system prototype. The tested prototype was assessed for user-friendliness, navigation ease, consistency, usability, task completion time, and information access speed. The study concludes that a copyright user licensing model can improve licensing processes for CMOs and reduce copyright infringement. It further suggests that this model can be adapted for use by other licensing firms and organizations.

This paper explores the concept of digital identity in the evolving landscape of Web 3.0, focusing on the development and implications of a novel authentication scheme using verifiable credentials. The background sets the stage by placing digital identity within the broad context of Web 3.0′s decentralized, blockchain-based internet, highlighting the transition from earlier web paradigms. The methods section outlines the theoretical framework and technologies employed, such as blockchain, smart contracts, and cryptographic algorithms. The results summarize the main findings, including the proposed authentication scheme’s ability to enhance user control, security, and privacy in digital interactions. Finally, the conclusions discuss the broader implications of this scheme for future online transactions and digital identity management, emphasizing the shift towards self-sovereignty and reduced reliance on centralized authorities.

The aim of this paper is to analyze how the governance of an enterprise blockchain ecosystem changes as it matures and increases in size. A review of the literature serves to identify five behavioral drivers of governance, which appear to affect the long-term viability of a blockchain ecosystem: access rights, decision rights, incentives, accountability, and conflict resolution. We subsequently report the findings from a comparative case study of how three large blockchain ecosystems implemented various governance mechanisms to exploit and modify the five behavioral drivers over time. Based on twenty-six interviews and approximately 200 h of participant observations, we propose an analytical framework that consists of three distinctive stages in the life cycle of a blockchain ecosystem. Each stage is characterized by an intricate relationship between off-chain and on-chain governance mechanisms. Based on these findings, various recommendations are provided to increase the long-term viability of blockchain ecosystems.
