This studyfocusesonidentifyingandanalyzingthechallengesandlimitationsofthecurrentcopyrightprotection mechanisms for Yunnan\u2019s digital cultural heritage. Yunnan, which is rich in ethnic diversity and cultural heritage, faces unique issues in protecting digital cultural assets amid increasing digitization. This study explores deficiencies in existing technical, legal, and policy frameworks, as well as cultural and social challenges. In addition, this study proposes a hybrid blockchain-based copyright protection framework as a complete research contribution. The system architecture and technical design are fully presented and analyzed in this paper. It also examines the potential limitations of applying blockchain technology to address these issues, laying a foundation for subsequent research on blockchain-based solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
