So Reddit sells these uh... "things" for a lot of money so users can add it to some sort of wallet, from that wallet they can click on it so it will bring them to 'their URL' (not) from where the Reddit avatar builders opens and they can add this as their avatar. :ameowsipzoom:

I took the effort to make screenshots so everyone can use them for FREE everywhere :goose_shades:

@stux Wait what, you realize that is illegal to share copyrighted art right? I mean if your aware I dont care go for it, as long as you know this is illegal though (and my put your instance at risk as the mod too)

@freemo @stux I guess it's a good thing that the art is irrelevant to the value of an NFT. The only thing that matters is the token that you own. Sharing screenshots of the art has no bearing on the tokens, which are safely "owned" by the people who were convinced they should buy them.

@nyquildotorg @freemo Hmm good one! I wonder in how far 'screenshots' count.. and when is a screenshot a screenshot :thinking_rotate:

Follow

@stux

Has absolutely no relevance here. The fact that it is an NFT doesnt change the nature of the copyright over the image (which is not even transfered as part of the NFT).

@freemo @stux Right, but if you're selling NFTs, which ar meant to replace copyright, why would you copyright the images tied to your tokens?

@nyquildotorg

You seem to be grossly misinformed about what copyright is.. you dont "copyright the image"... images are **automatically** copyrighted by the owner the moment they are created. An owner can give a use license to others if they wish (which is how we handle open source).. but short of that it is copyrighted by default.

@stux

@nyquildotorg @freemo @stux gotta build on top of copyright because NFTs aren't legally enforceable.

@jrishel

NFTs only become legally enforcable if you explicitly write a license that automatically transfers right to use with the NFT. So most NFT you are right, but some can and do transfer ownership.

@nyquildotorg @stux

@freemo @nyquildotorg @stux I think we might be agreeing, but like the "copyleft" GPL, both don't work to change how rights are transferred unless there is a strong copyright to build on.

@jrishel

Well yea, transfering use rights only works if you have the copyright in the first place. So you have to create the art yourself, then offer the license up along with the NFT and set it up so the license transfers witht he NFT int he terms of the license itself. But yea all that is based on a "strong ciopyright" as in you have to clearly have the copyright to start with, and thus be the artist.

@nyquildotorg @stux

@freemo @stux @nyquildotorg pretty sure you're wrong here, friend.

Nothing wrong with screenshotting the art.

You can't own the rasterized pixels. You own a "receipt" ๐Ÿคฃ

Of course I'm not a lawyer so i could be wrong.

It's all so incredibly dumb.

@dannotdaniel

No you are wrong, the law is clear and has 4 criteria, a screenshot isnt one of them.

There is a similar related rule though, one of the 4 conditions of fair use is it must be low-resolution.

Why not just read the laws rather than guess, it explains it well.

@stux @nyquildotorg

@freemo @stux @nyquildotorg got a link handy?

Half the NFTs I can think of being "low resolution" was the whole look to begin with, but sure I will peruse..

@freemo @stux @nyquildotorg I started to read that but I'd be more looking for something more directly about NFTs than fair use in general

From this other source though, I suspect you may be technically right (but nobody would likely enforce)

Anyway, thanks for posting
theverge.com/23139793/nft-cryp

@dannotdaniel

Well depends what you want to know, first you have to understand when you have a right to share an image that you didnt create, thats what the fair use link is about.

WRT NFT the only question then is who owns the copyright, because otherwise its no different than any other copyrighted thing.. for that there are some good articles I can recommend too but since we both agree it isnt Stux I suspect that thats just noise cause whoever it is, its not stux and thats all that matters here.

@stux @nyquildotorg

@freemo @stux @nyquildotorg people who buy these things don't care about the actual "art" anyway.

Mostly it's a big pyramid scheme and they are "investing".

Not a legal argument here, just an observation
