This is no different than what already happens in other platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc where people steal other people's content to make money for themselves. There are mechanisms in place to prevent this in most of these NFT platforms just like there are on the aforementioned ones.
- iamacyborg 6y agoReposting someone's art on Twitter/IG/whatever is a bit different to literally selling someone else's art though, isn't it?
- adnzzzzZ 6y agoI don't think so. Anyone who's buying this stolen art and finds out about it understands that they got scammed because it didn't come from the original artist. It may feel worse to the artist because they can see someone making money off their work more directly rather than through ads such as how it happens on YouTube for instance, but it doesn't decrease the value of their art if they were to sell it themselves.
- bsanr2 6y agoComplaining that NFTs don't prevent art theft is like complaining that my physical dollar bills don't prevent muggings. Ultimately, it's up to policies and mechanisms on the level of the action to prevent that action. Moderators have to strike illicit goods; collectors have to recognize the authenticity or inauthenticity of provenance; viewers have to observe and respect that a forged, unauthorized piece is valueless, regardless of the resemblance to the original. The computer doesn't care, nor should it.
