THE BLOCKCHAIN OPPORTUNITY
“Creating New Industries & Remaking Old Ones”
Kellye-Raé J. Fisher Campbell
Abstract
The advent of blockchain technology has introduced a new paradigm, which is poised to transform computing, technology and almost all daily activities in a manner comparable only to the introduction of the worldwide web. The basic architecture of blockchain presents endless opportunities for the building, development and growth of several applications, ranging from it most renowned use – Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, to the advancement of the internet of things, decentralized autonomous organizations, and smart contracts. Though initially slow and gradual, its adoption and prevalence has exploded in the last three years, bringing with it a familiarity of concept to most but a lack of infrastructural understanding for many.
This paper explores blockchain technology, the opportunities it presents for governments, start-ups, creative industries and other market participants in the Caribbean. Usually met with enmity by economists, governments, legal and regulatory groups, this paper approaches blockchain technology from a positive and cautiously optimistic perspective whilst exploring some legal and regulatory challenges including security and privacy issues which are likely to emerge with the adoption of blockchain technologies.
“Little Fish in a Big Ocean”
Jamaica : A developing country in the world of Copyright
Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, the 4,244 square mile island of Jamaica is home to a wealth of culture that has gained the little dot on the globe international recognition. Showcasing its ingenuity and creativity, Jamaica has opened the ears and hearts of its international counterparts through the production and export of original musical genres.
How does Jamaica’s copyright regime compare with that of the more developed nations? Do our laws sufficiently protect the creative minds we produce? Do we share the same ideas and concepts in the protection of copyright? What are the prevailing attitudes towards copyright protection and enforcement?
