Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting fraudulent streaming activity. Streaming activity is posted to a blockchain by one or more DSPs. Blockchain streaming data is extracted from the blockchain and used as input in a machine learning model. The machine learning model takes the extracted blockchain data, along with additional inputs such as DSP trend pool and social pool inputs, and makes a determination regarding potentially fraudulent streaming activity.

Abstract
A digital content management system includes a digital content information reception unit configured to receive digital content and the number of pieces of non-fungible token (NFT) content to be generated based on the digital content, a digital content conversion unit configured to generate a number of pieces of NFT digital content equal to the number of pieces of NFT content by converting the digital content, an NFT generation unit configured to generate an NFT based on a blockchain for each of the generated pieces of NFT digital content, and a checking unit configured to check an NFT generated for the NFT digital content to be played back when playing back one of the generated pieces of NFT digital content.
