Do you realize how absolutely fucking absurd it is that you're saying "You should do the research to make sure you aren't buying stolen digital art"? because... you should? If you buy a cool looking NFT that wasn't created by the person who made the art, but rather by some other random guy, guess what? You just wasted money on something that no longer has value because it's not from the legitimate creator. And yes, that means that the random person made money that should have gone to someone else, but anyone can already find a picture online and print it out of it and try to sell the poster/print that they made with it. . PrivateBiscuit1 posted... What about the people who don't give a fuck that it's stolen and just want to buy it because it's cool? They may as well just burn their ETH then, because what they are getting in exchange for it does not have value if it's not from the legitimate creator. . PrivateBiscuit1 posted... What about the people stealing the art that can do so and get away with it no problem? Marketplaces like OpenSea and Rarible should definitely do what they can to limit this behavior. And for their part OpenSea will put blue checkmarks on verified collections and will put warnings on unverified NFTs so you are aware of the risks. . PrivateBiscuit1 posted... What about the artists who literally need to hire lawyers if they want the rights to their artwork back or to get people to stop selling their art for profit because the system has had SO MUCH stolen art they closed their ticketing process for it? They don't lose the right to their own artwork if someone makes an NFT out of it. They are free to make their own NFT out of their artwork as part of their own legitimate collection and sell it. The significant difference is that it can be difficult to litigate and prosecute people for that behavior if they are anonymous. . When I say digital artists can use NFTs to get proper compensation for their work I generally mean that if you wanted to support such an artist you could buy from a link that THEY posted on THEIR social media account linking to THEIR own NFTs that they created of THEIR artwork. That way even if I get an alert from OpenSea saying "we haven't reviewed this collection so proceed with caution" I can proceed knowing that it's from the actual person listing their own actual work. --- ~C~ FD http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png <cite>Forceful_Dragon posted [p:961499115] in So what is...
