It helps in the integrity verification, attribution, and history tracking of digital assets.
The rise of the digital media and internet has made it easier and convenient for the publishers to connect with their audience or readers.
But it also has increased the rate of plagiarism & content theft on a mass scale.
There were many incidents here on steemit too where content thieves steals other's content and claimed to be the actual creator and earned rewards from Steemit platform. They are stealing both the credits and rewards which is rightfully deserved by the original publishers.

These were on the cases of artforms. I've seen a lot of people here who directly copy paste articles from wikipedia, wikihow and other major media outles and paste it here to earn rewards.
A few of these thieves get caught all the time because the internet is like a giant network of bee-hive where all the busy bees are constantly communicating with each other. So, it's tough to get away with these thefts. But not always.
Since the process is manual and the spotter needs to have knowledge about the original creation, remember & identify it correctly to catch a content thief, most of these plagiarists get away with their thefts. It's possible to spot out a thief if he/she has stolen from a popular content creator but what if he steals underrated but good articles or other creations from less popular artists? Will anyone notice? Probably not. If you're a minnow like me, no one will notice when your content gets stolen because very few people know about you to identify your content.
