【Abstract】Nowadays, the consumption of media content has been growing rapidly and consistently, driven by an easy access to Video on Demand platforms. In this context, licensing is needed to ensure that filmmakers receive rightful payment for their content and ensure that their rights as content owners are respected. The traditional licensing process, which is heavily dependent on third parties (legal entities) to mediate the transaction, is very long, costly, and complex, which is a barrier to smaller independent filmmakers. The solution proposed in this work, to address this problem, is to create a business-to-business marketplace platform supported by a Blockchain licensing module. This module takes advantage of Blockchain technology to ensure the licensing requirements and to provide a secure, practical and straightforward way to license media in a decentralised paradigm. The result of this work was validated though a prototype, and a global assessment of the system's usability was performed using the System Usability Scale, where it got the best possible grade.
