Copyright Concensum, a blockchain-based global copyright registration service that advertised itself almost exclusively to photographers, appears to be completely dead.

Instagram has started testing NFTs and the company today has shared what that will look like. The feature will connect to a digital wallet, allow users to share digital collectibles, and automatically tag the creator and collector.

After significant backlash, the Associated Press pulled plans to offer a video of a boat overcrowded with migrants as an NFT. The situation has called into question the ethics of selling photojournalism at all.

A new report alleges that the NFT marketplace has a "wash trading" problem. That is, people who buy their own NFTs in order to drive up their prices that a real buyer would mistakenly believe is a history of increasing value.

Technology startup Numbers Protocol is aiming to stop the spread of misinformation in imagery through its app, Numbers Capture, by creating digital "birth certificates" for images and videos and tracking any changes that are made to them.

The Joint Photographic Experts Group, the committee behind the JPEG image file, recently held its 86th meeting in Sydney, Australia, and among the topics discussed was using artificial intelligence for greater image procession and using blockchain (the technology pioneered by Bitcoin) for a new system of trust.

If you’ve heard of Bitcoin, then you’re peripherally familiar with blockchain. Blockchain is a distributed database technology that creates a public ledger of every transaction within the system – perfect for cryptocurrencies that lack a central issuing bank.

A new copyright protection service called Binded just launched this week. It's actually a rebrand of the company formerly known as Blockai, and the purpose remains the same: using the Bitcoin blockchain to protect photographers' copyrights.

For better or worse, copyright law hasn't changed much in the United States even as technology has made it far easier for people to steal or "appropriate" your work. But a new service called Blockai thinks it can help by using something called the bitcoin blockchain.
