the NFT server encrypts the digital content including the digital copyright information, and

the NFT server stores the encrypted digital copyright information in a form of a blockchain across multiple blockchain servers in a distributed manner.

2 . The digital content distribution apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the digital content creation module requests generative AI to create digital content based on a keyword input by a user and receives the created digital content from the generative AI.

3 . The digital content distribution apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the digital copyright information creation module creates the digital copyright information further based on a date and time of digital content creation and a user's name.
