Rich people bickering about copyright and NFTs. A pissing contest among the wealthy to determine who deserves to extract money from the general population. Who could have foreseen this shocking turn of events?
Quentin Tarantino is going ahead with his plan to auction "Pulp fiction" NFTs, despite being sued by Miramax for copyright infringement. Tarantino...
@PsychoCod3r Well, creating an NFT is not the same thing as a copyright. Miramax already holds the copyright and has for the last ~30 years. NFTs are kind of uncharted territory for copyright though. The last major overhaul of the law in the US was in the 70s, so it's not even equipped to deal with digital media, let alone fake ownership via blockchains.

Aren't most NFT's basically just randomly generated pixels anyway? Why copyright something that you didn't even put any thought into? Sure, you pressed the button that made it happen, but anyone could have done that, and tons of people are doing that.
