The ownership of copyright in the form of digital works can also be obtained through third-party registration centers run by various associations or institutions supported by trusted third parties, which can prove the filing and storage time of works. You can also choose the popular copyright authentication protection platform integrating various digital copyright technologies and the authoritative time stamp notary office and other third-party trusted organizations to independently store and issue intelligent authentication at the first time, so as to obtain the preliminary proof of the ownership of the work, and if necessary, enhance the evidence through judicial authentication. At present, many European and American countries have been popular for many years.
