- dboreham 5y agoDoesn't. And -- you just made art there. See: Andy Warhol.
- detaro 5y agowhy would it?
- tdrdt 5y agoIn the near future modern OSs will block the screenshot when you are displaying NFT content. And also the drivers of your videocard will prevent outputting such data via uncertified cables. There will also be a hidden watermark in case you want to take a picture of it with your camera, which ofcourse is not allowed. /s

- uuddlrlr 5y agoCritics of NFTs incessantly conflate them with copyright and DRM, but it's a strawman argument. Buyers are aware that it doesn't grant them any actual rights beyond "I can transfer this NFT". I'm against NFTs for their environmental impact, I'm fine with their vanity.
- rchaud 5y agoYou joke, but even some of the most poorly engineered streaming services, like Crave.ca, managed to implement screenshot blocking. Seriously, this is a service whose Android app always appears as "unavailable in your region" (I'm in Canada), yet it allows mobile browsers to play the content just fine, except for the screenshot blocking.
- ineedasername 5y agoThe author of the image needs to scrub the image from the hard drive and just leave the NFT. Like the NFT where the original artwork was burned. That way, the NFT owner can truly enjoy a piece of art in full knowledge that no one else can have it.
