I totally agree with what you say. As I said the platform will detect duplicate images and keep the fraudsters off the system. This helps both buyers and sellers. Buyers will be able to buy artwork from genuine sellers with no room for copyright infringement cases, no disputes. Not trying to jazz up or pitch. This tech can really change things for good.
Unless the Big Three adopt the platform and commit to chasing fraudsters all over the globe, I don't think there's going to be an impact. My bet is they won't. I don't think lawyers are going to be all over the cases with 28c damages.
The legal service will be for assistance. They would act upon photographers request and help them in the legalities. Most of these operations will be automated.
The big players probably won't get into blockchain. They get paid more than 75% of the sale revenues no matter if the image is stolen or legit. They only act when people file a complaint.
