Abstract

An artwork management method executed by one or more computers is provided. The artwork management method includes detecting, by a first computer included in the one or more computers, artwork included in a website, determining, by the first computer, whether or not a purchase transaction indicating purchase of the artwork detected is recorded in a blockchain network, and transmitting, by the first computer, a report indicating discovery of unauthorized use of the artwork, in a case where the first computer determines that the purchase transaction is not recorded. According to one aspect, the artwork management method suppresses illegal use of artwork while maintaining accessibility of the artwork.
