Hobby or not, creators of digital content such as photography, face similar questions: exhibition, recognition, distribution and funding.

Only a couple of decades ago, to profit from a photo, it required a number of practical steps, connections, skills and equipment. Today, with advanced technology and numerous platforms and tools, anyone can exhibit in the internet for free and earn a small income.

This superficial freedom, resulted to the formation of a huge community of professionals and hobbyists competing for the same space, under the same rules.

The result? Low profits for most, and high profits for few: those that chose to promote their art through traditional channels, such as high end galleries, private collections etc.

BlockLicense is here to set new market rules and radicalize the creative industry by providing the chance for the Creators of any type, including photographers, to control their digital content by inserting their own license, price and earn the full profit. At the same time, Creators establish and secure their ownership, since the files are permanently stored in the Ethereum ecosystem.

And if that sounds as a solution targeting only tech savvy individuals, in reality it is not. BlockLicense, is really easy to use.

Unlike other blockchain technologies, BlockLicense is designed for everyone and for today. It does not require any market maturity or special skills. By downloading BlockLicense free app or the rest of the tools from the Ecosystem, anyone, anywhere can drag and drop their content and add a license, either from the pre-set drop down list or create their own, add the price and save.

It takes literally three steps and less than two minutes before the file is licensed and permanently stored in the Ethereum ecosystem.

In reality, the file becomes a single entity that contains all relevant information added by the Creator including his public key, the equivalent of his IBAN. In this way, fast transactions are enabled and paid in Licence Coin LCN — BlockLicense issued tokens, which are available in minutes.

According to BlockLicense roadmap, initial coin distribution will begin in Q2 2018, giving the chance for early contributors to become part of the community.
