That is a fake narrative spun from a screenshot of a tweet[1] taken out of context by people unfamiliar with IP laws.
I'm familiar with this DAO, they have been advised by a competent IP lawyer before even bidding on the book. There is a crucial legal difference between derivative work, and work "inspired by" another.

- ShamelessC 5y agoJust provide a source - no one knows you so your familiarity with the DAO is useless. edit: Thanks - that tweet doesn't inspire confidence. Why would you need to overbid on a sketchbook in order to make a show which is inspired by it? Why not just, you know, make the show...

- dmitriid 5y ago> That is a fake narrative spun from a screenshot of a tweet Not by a screenshot of the tweet, but by the tweet itself. And it was rightfully ridiculed for it. And now they are "producing an original series" and don't have the money for a writer's room? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30046358 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30046358 For three million dollars they could've created not just "a package with a powerpoint", but half of an animated series, probably.
- jaclaz 5y agoI still think there is something else (I don't know what) about that book auction, who was the other bidder? Or how (the heck) did offers raise to almost three million dollars?
