What do you mean? You didnt go out and spend all your money on reproducable jpegs? Whats wrong with you?

reproducable jpegs? Excuse me?

I live walking distance from my local police department. If another person uses my NFT without my consent I will report them immediately. This is MY PROPERTY. The transaction has be verified scientifically on the block chain. Anyone who violates my NFT rights will pay the price.

Buddy, you have no idea who you are messing with. I have made a ridiculous amount of money in crypto/NFTs and I have the best lawyers. If you don’t delete those stolen jpegs, you’re going to regret it. When you steal someone’s property you get punished. Watch out.

Sorry to disappoint ya, but the thing that gets stored on the blockchain isn't the image itself but usually just a link to the image, sometimes with a hash of the image.

You're not storing the image itself on the blockchain, meaning if the link goes down your NFT is useless.

Additionally, you cannot report someone for using your NFT unless you get a registered copyright for it, and the use of your NFT must not fall under fair use. Considering that there's so many different variants of the same NFT in most cases, it'd be barely possible to register a copyright as you'd immediately strike all the other variants AND there is a chance the distributor already has copyright on the work.

(ofc, I'm not a lawyer, check local legislation.)

Bless his kind soul. He doesn't deserve the downvotes.

I will take any and all chances to shit on NFTs, no matter how many reply with "whoosh"

You can't file for copyright registration for something you didn't create unless the creator explicitly signed over copyright ownership rights to you (and most NFTs do not)

I mortgaged my house for a computer-generated ape that my son's cousin's uncle's neighbor's mailman said would one day finance my retirement.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

It will, it will. Any day now, you’ll see! My kid told me the same thing, and his favorite streamer wouldn’t just say anything for money, would he?

I spent all my money on a chance to get a certain jpg.
