A major software developer plans to combat online piracy using blockchain transparency features.

In a document published by Microsoft Research, Microsoft employees said that a blockchain-based system could help solve this problem.
The report, titled “Argus: a completely transparent system for anti-piracy campaigns” presents a new solution built on the Ethereum blockchain. Argus will use watermarking technology and track pirated content back to its source.
