### Copyright  
When a work is created, copyright immediately arises. This has numerous benefits for the people who contribute or create it, but it also raises problems for those who control the data and want to see the public's interest in their creations, which are also available to the public. Until recently, creators had the option of allowing artists to publish their work. Customers can freely and securely use the protected content in this domain. Intellectual property owners always have the option to defend their rights if they are accused by other users of violating their rights [17].

As with all new goods, copyright claims should arise naturally once the information assets are developed [18]. In the case of software protection, it is more likely to be supported by legislation because the copyright mode of protection takes effect at any time, and the purpose and role of legal protection is greater [19]. [PERSON] et al. [20] offered a deep learning strategy using blockchain as an example of the goal of copyright protection for digital music. The authors claim that their copyright protection system for digital music processes queries with an error rate of 0% in the presence of multiple concurrent users, ensuring a high level of intellectual property rights protection.  
Computer software is one of the most significant information assets. It must be protected by copyright because it has been creatively developed, mostly through the use of terms of use agreements [21]. Additionally, computer scientists define computer programs using a variety of digital codes and programming languages before simulating them on computers for consumers to download and use [18]. In order to protect software, copyright measures must be implemented in the program code.  
Software, a type of copyrighted material, is considered high technology, so laws protecting intellectual property rights in software are often inadequate. Most countries have copyright laws that protect software intellectual property, and patent protection can also be sought for software design ideas that are closely related to hardware. The security of computer software and systems may be largely covered by existing software protection methods, but gaps in protection do exist.
