Is Blockchain-Powered Copyright Protection Possible?

There is no question that the blockchain is an ideal place to store claims to authorship without a central authority to censor, take down or potentially tamper with original work. Whether it can prevent copyright infringement is another question.
If it can't prevent infringement, what's the point? If someone cracks that nut, it may go beyond the evangelist stage. Otherwise, it's just another brilliant idea in a sea of brilliant ideas.

I really do get that you don't see the issue as I do. Any new scheme has to actually protect Copyright. I see nothing in Blockchain that does. I'm not alone.
