Lovely for your friends but what about all the artists having their work stolen?
- breadzeppelin__ 5y agoI was making copies of digital art long before NFTs were a thing
- Retr0id 5y agoWere you selling those copies at a profit, too?
- profmonocle 5y agoSure, but you probably weren't trying to sell those copies to unsuspecting buyers, pretending you had the rights to do so, and giving nothing to the artist. That's the scummy part.
- meheleventyone 5y agoLovely for you! What is your point in relation to mine?
- at_ 5y agoI've yet to see that come up as an issue within this niche - it's mostly code based work, so a certain tolerance for forking/remixing is baked in. Unsurprisingly, highly derivative work doesn't raise much interest.
- VikingCoder 5y agoYou and I follow different artists. I've seen artists saying it's becoming a full-time job trying to stop people from turning their work into NFTs.
- TigeriusKirk 5y agoI'm deep in the generative art NFT thing too, and I've seen it come up a couple of times. In a couple of cases algorithms have been outright copied and used for new projects. Personally I believe that's wrong and people shouldn't do it. Definitely would not buy any such work. There's also been a few cases where some code is clearly based on other code, and some artists get mad about that. For myself, this feels a lot less clear cut, and I might consider some such art if I felt it was novel enough.
- meheleventyone 5y agoYes, as I said lovely for your friends.
