Abstract
The disclosure relates to a blockchain-implemented system and method of controlling the transmission and/or distribution of digital content. A first user transfers a deposit quantity of cryptocurrency to a common address. A first node associated with the first user: sends a request to the second node to provide an episode of digital content from a series of digital content; determines a payment transaction to transfer a payment quantity of cryptocurrency to the second user based on a quantity of episodes of digital content in the series; and signs and sends the payment transaction to a second node. The second node associated with the second user: receives the request and the payment transaction; verifies the payment transaction; and based on a result of verifying: provides access to the episode of digital content to the first node; and co-signs and sends the payment transaction to a distributed ledger.
