What's interesting is that in the ~240 comments so far, no one has actually engaged with the topic of the article, which is the real world display of digital art.
- smoovb 5y agoReal world displays for digital art, like photo frames, could be the next step in digital art enjoyment. But will the hardware manufactures enforce ownership of public keys so only the owner's NFTs can be displayed?
- cblconfederate 5y agoThe discussion of DRM has ended since the 00s , there is really not much to say about it.
- iamacyborg 5y agoI'm not sure you read the article.
- cblconfederate 5y agoI did, what the author is saying is that Nfts are not DRM (which is true and well known). They assume DRM is a problem that can be solved, but it can't.
- iamacyborg 5y agoI'm the author - if that's what you got from the article then maybe I need to rewrite it, but it's primarily around the issue of how art is displayed. Looking at a picture on a screen is really fucking boring.
- cblconfederate 5y agoOK, but then why did you expect that NFTs would solve the problem of art display? It's a bit of misrepresentation of what NFTs do, the closest thing of which is, it's like a certificate of authenticity. In other words, i dont think most people expected NFTs to solve that problem anyway In any case even if someone makes a display that only works with original NFTs it doesnt change the fact that anyone else can make a screen that doesn't. We re back to the Napster and Kazaa problem.
