ISBN codes (International Standard Book Number) are unique numbers that identify published books. Each edition and variation of a book, whether in print, ebook, or audiobook format, receives its own ISBN, which is essential for distribution, sale, and cataloging in bookstores and libraries.
While ISBNs are crucial for identifying a book, they do not offer legal protection for the book’s content. Content protection is provided by copyright, which covers the text, illustrations, and other creative elements of the book. However, to prove authorship and the creation date in legal disputes, a registration record is necessary. This is where Copyright.Zone comes in.
The platform uses blockchain technology to create an immutable record of registered works, ensuring that the author can prove ownership at any time. Additionally, using Copyright.Zone provides an extra layer of security for publishers managing multiple publications. Beyond the protection offered by copyright, Copyright.Zone’s certificates of authorship ensure that every version of a book is protected against potential infringements. This is especially important for works that are translated or adapted into different languages and formats, ensuring that the author’s rights are maintained in every context.
For independent authors who may not have the resources to access complex legal services, LutinX offers an accessible and effective option for protecting their works. In addition to providing legal proof of ownership, the platform allows authors to monitor the use of their works and easily manage multiple registrations, making the copyright protection process simple and transparent.
