NFTs only become legally enforcable if you explicitly write a license that automatically transfers right to use with the NFT. So most NFT you are right, but some can and do transfer ownership.
Yea anytime you add even a smidge of nuance to a conversation its "both sidism"... being in the USA is like being in a mental institution where no one is getting treated.
Do Americans even realize how they are seen as the laughing stock of the rest of the world, both left and right politically?
@freemo @SameGirlie @volkris I've actually been accused of "both sides ism" on here. Yeah, I think the American political system is like one of those puppet shows where the puppeteer has one on each hand and they argue with each other.
The issues they argue about all have one thing in common: they are not important to the financier class.
That just means most people who use the hashtag dont capitalize it, as long as you dont select one of those fromt he drop down then your hashtag will retain its case.
@60pencilgirl@mstdn.ca
Yes hyper-polarization in the USA tends to result in people being very aggressive against anyone with a more nuanced or middle road opinion than their own. Its very tiring.
@mike805 @SameGirlie @volkris
Your opinion cant be very valuable if you didnt even bother to consider dissenting opinions in forming it... I just call it being ignorant, at least when the conversation is otherwise mature.
No SameGirlie rage quit and blocked you and everyone else int he thread.
You seem to be grossly misinformed about what copyright is.. you dont "copyright the image"... images are **automatically** copyrighted by the owner the moment they are created. An owner can give a use license to others if they wish (which is how we handle open source).. but short of that it is copyrighted by default.
The image has a copyright owner (as all images do). That owner has not given others the permission to reproduce... ergo it is illegal to reproduce it. Any other points you make is entirely irrelevant to the legality.
Not everyone having a mature conversation with a difference of opinion is gaslighting, please stop being hyperbolic.
If you'd care to elaborate on what you mean I'd love to hear you out. But your response is far too short for me to know what you mean.
Yup, and thats why they retain the right on the copyright.
No, you'd think thats how it works, but no. In most NFT copyright applies and is retained by the original artist, not the NFT holder. The NFT holder simply has some rights of use.
Now you do have some NFTs (a small minority) where the copyright ownership is transferred with the NFT.
However regardless of which type of copyright agreement we have here it wouldnt really make stux free and clear either way because whoever has the copyright, its not him.
@lakotaman1 Not sure what you mean, like when they accuse other republicans int he Trump case?
Has absolutely no relevance here. The fact that it is an NFT doesnt change the nature of the copyright over the image (which is not even transfered as part of the NFT).
Certainly true but has little bearing on why this post would be illegal.
@lamp@berserker.town @stux
Since stux owns the server if a DMCA is filed it will likely be much more serious. If one of his users posted it then yea, but when the owner posts it the rules are very different.
