Can I cancel or terminate a copyright?

Yes, a copyright cab be cancelled/terminated at any time.

After terminating a copyright all documents and files related to the copyright will be permanently deleted. This action is final and irreversible. The only thing that remains is the encrypted ledger on the blockchain of the registration as the ledger data can not be deleted. Specifically a single entry of the copyright owner name or names, the registration number, the name of the file submitted, the size of the file submitted and the exact time and date of the original submission will remain in encrypted form (not readable by the public) on the organizations blockchain database. Such information do not constitute an active copyright as all the related files are permanently deleted.

There is no cost in terminating a copyright.
