So now the race to prove ownership is to upload it to a blockchain first? If you publish your art on deviantart but while you’re uploading it to the blockchain, I sneak in first and upload it, suddenly I can say that I have a tamper proof ledger showing that I uploaded it before it was copied by you.

Kind of. It would be desirable to put your work on the blockchain before anyone else.

There are other things people could consider though, in terms of evaluating the history/authorship of something. The blockchain is just one data point.

So the blockchain doesn't solve evaluating the history/ownership. Not even.
