That actually makes it funnier, if by making an NFT point to an existing copyrighted work’s link (without reuploading) that circumvents the copyright infringement because nothing was even copied.
I’m trying to think about even if the licensing issue would be circumvented or squirmed around.
- vmception 5y agoI’m ready to argue that its more like selling a TV to view existing content. An NFT pointing to the official image already uploaded officially elsewhere can neither be theft or copyright infringement, and fraud can be mitigated if it is written somewhere about who the copyright holder is.
- dgellow 5y agoJust to clarify my previous comment, I meant that the reupload is copyright infringement. > I’m ready to argue that its more like selling a TV to view existing content. That’s a really nice analogy. The television is also a pointer of some sort, but that communicates the idea nicely and sounds less technical. And naturally move the focus of the discussion to the licensing of the aired content. I might steal the idea for future discussions :)
