[@CJFreeza]

So just to clarify, this isn't considered black market selling? This clearly circumvents sales taxes since it's on crypto. Not sure how legitimate this is in the long run...

[@blockchaingaming619]

So for opensea and rarible you need to pay gasfee each time you upload an nft or only once? I read somewhere that opensea is without gas fees now?Can you confirm this? Why aren't they yet on layer2?

I'm aware of this technology but what is stopping someone from taking all the art on ArtStation, uploading it, and claiming it as their own? Oracle problem is not solved...

[@3DGladiator]

As far as I'm aware, nothing currently stops others from stealing, minting and listing your work. This is a problem. Not only on the seller's but also on the buyer's side. In case you want to buy something, do your research first. When an artwork gets stolen, the platform should be able to block the wallet from which the NFT is listed. This way it's no longer available.

[@Blackfilmguild]

Nothing stops that and their NFT was 1st and it is authentic... The only difference is the owner did not give permission, which does not really matter on the blockchain.

[@TheFakeMikeLWatts]

Now I understand why NFTs are the future of digital music. If musicians sell their NFTs at reasonable prices + a royalty on resell, record companies will go fully extinct... only to be replaced by NFT "taste" brands/collectives. Regarding the oracle problem and musicians, no one can fake new material from an original musician. Bootlegging has always existed with rare and unreleased songs. In the case of the musician, bootleg NFTs would boost the presence of said musician so much that when they create a new/exclusive token, the value of the token will be exponentially higher than their first few NFTs. When it comes to illustrations and graphic design, however... I would never spend over $30 on (XX)MB of 10100101. I would, however, spend >$1k on physical canvas oil paintings.

[@kaori-3882]

Hi thanks for the video! A few questions please: What happens to copy rights when you sell ownership? 1. In case of copyrighted material by you, can you still use your art as you wish and give licence usage to others? 2. In case you want to have it as creative commons for free usage with credits to you, can you still sell the *original* as NFT? Thank you very much for your help!

[@jfbarnard3109]

It all depends on what you want the NFT to represent. It's an open system, so if you want the NFT to have legal value, you simply have to follow copyrights laws. If you want to sell a single full ownership of the work, then you actually sold your ownership and can no longer license the work to others. If you want to represent licenses through an NFT framework, you can sell a few of them, and keep selling non-cryptographic licenses as you would normally. You can always sell NFTs as collector items as well with limited supply and no legal right. In this case, it leads to the same result as selling an mp3 for example. Difference is, now people have a way to prove they own the mp3, resell it at the price they want with no intermediaries, etc. The data of the mp3 can always be duplicated, but the NFT representing ownership of the mp3 cannot

[@KrazyIndeed]

If, and only if, you copyright your material, you own ALL of it, by law. You can do whatever you want with it. If you sell a license for others to sell your material, or use it in a game or movie, you are going to write a contract. You can sell an 'exclusive' license meaning only they can market the material, or a 'non-exclusive'.. Those are details in the contract you negotiate. You can still use your own materials whenever you want to... Should you sell your COPYRIGHT, you are selling all rights to your material and lose all ownership of it.

[@jfbarnard3109]

@@lillyreilly4659 it's really the same as normal copyright theft. Provenance of the nft needs to be verified before purchase otherwise you are just buying ownership of valueless copyright infringing work

Thank you so much for making this! Awesome video. And your Arcadia piece is incredible! I have a couple of questions for you. • What are the ideal specs for creating an NFT? • Pixel size for final art versus the smaller version that is posted on Rarible / other platforms • What is the optimal pixel dimensions for uploading an NFT to a marketplace • What should be the proper resolution 72 dpi? 300 dpi? Retina? • File size for preview on Rarible or one of the other platforms • Should I worry about HD or 4K for final art? • Should I worry about whether final art is viewed on a smart phone or a large 4K TV display? Not knowing is what is holding me back since Eth is not cheap. I am afraid of minting something and then it looks like crap in the preview or it will be too small in the preview. Thanks so much! Please don't stop making these videos. You are crushing it and a huge help! Definitely one of the best NFT content creators on KZbin.

Naw, this is like the past but worse. All this does is create a privatized copyright system like we had 50 years ago. Where you actually had to physically send in a copy your artwork and pay bureaucrat to register a copyright. Something that was remedied by the dmca, and several American supreme Court precidents. nowadays if you make artwork and Disney steals it you can sue them for millions of dollars without ever really registering a copyright. If this nft system works as well as people say it does. It's just going to create an arms race between art thieves and various degrees of wealthy to poor artists spending as much as they can on funny money to turn their artwork into nfts. It's like the old copyright system. Accept instead of paying a government official who is at least accountable. You're paying some unaccountable company in one of the most unregulated finance sectors on Earth.

Dude, thanks for posting! I'm very new to all of this. Curious, what software do you use to make your artwork? What's the best? Adobe photo shop?

I am a traditional illustrator/painter who has just gotten into the NFT space recently. What are your thoughts on tying an actual, physical element, i.e. the original drawing or painting to an NFT? Or, in in the case of offering a series of limited edition NFT's, each initial purchaser would receive a high end print of the work as well...? Much like Picasso's Bull, which was a physical painting, it was then digitized, animated, then converted to a few different series of limited edition NFT's. As a traditional artist, I'm still looking to have the original physical art/print as part of the NFT buying experience, as for me, the original art holds a ton of value. But being that we're dealing with a global audience on the blockchain, does this even seem feasible? Interested to hear your thoughts. Great video, thanks for putting this together.

Could someone please explain why I wouldn't just make a Google Drive link to my artwork and simply give people access by letting them pay to get in like in a Patreon??

[@weniomer6385]

nft's are a type of crypto token that can be bought and sold, if someone is buying your art in the form of an nft, chances are they're expecting that they can resell it at a higher price later. So to answer your question, there is more resale value for the buyer. It's the difference between putting your art in a gallery (and charging people to see it) and selling that art to someone directly, wherein it becomes theirs to re-sell or hold.

Is it okay to list on more than one site? As far as I know once you sell a 1/1 collection you're not allowed to sell it again. Wouldn't this cause a conflict of ownership if it were to sell on one site while being listed on another?

[@ecrianzavaziere8862]

it depends. i create lots of 1/1 and i list it on most sites before its sold. most of my collectors prefer more display/showcasing so i just unlist it but still keep on other sites (remove from sale)

[@jgcalderonperez]

Excellent video! Subscribed! 🙌

[@whitephoenix1502]

i dont really saw any form of confirmation that you are really the owner of the art. what prevents people from stealing art and put it on the site ?

[@3DGladiator]

You have to keep in mind that the artwork/token is located in your software wallet. As long as you don't sell it, it's yours. Listing on marketplaces only displays it there. The thing is, nothing prevents people from stealing your work by simply taking a screenshot and tokenize it somewhere else. This is also why it is so important to research before you buy and to make sure that you purchase from the actual creator and not just from someone who claims to be the artist.

[@kikin310]

[@MontrealTribalFusion]

Wow. These prices are way out of the means of most creators to be able to prove that they do indeed have copyright on their own work. There is so much theiving going on with digital works and POD I was hoping to be able to follow this process to protect myself....too bad most artists will never be able to afford this and continue having their works ripped off with very few ways to defend themselves :(

[@t.robbrown7976]

Afford what? If you use Polygon instead of Ethereum, there are no gas fees.

[@sinnamonwife7016]

They’re incredibly bad for the environment anyways, no artist worth their salt thinks NFTs are good things and so many people steal the art and make 1 tiny tweak and then resell it

[@LuiZ-jy1pi]

This is just another episode of "Some bored rich millenials from California create a huge footprint as they complain about other people's climate change contributions". Nothing new here. If every person on the planet spent the energy and resources that one of these environmental activists from San Francisco or LA does, the sea would have swallowed the entire coast already. This whole NFT thing is a huge scam and a waste of resources/energy/human resources.

[@tandimusic]

@@LuiZ-jy1pi I’m new to NFT. Help me understand why it’s a scam please????

[@LuiZ-jy1pi]

@@tandimusic the whole philosophy behind NFTs is false. The idea of "decentralization" and "owning a digital asset" are lies. It's not decentralized because You still require a server to store the digital files, which makes the whole thing a huge wast of resources. It's just a normal gallery site like ArtStation, with extra (unnecessary and expensive) steps. The other problem is ownership, you can never really "own" a digital file, you can only have a copy of it downloaded to your local client temporarily, even then it is written and erased every time you open a new application onto the RAM memory. Even the artist who created the file doesn't own the original. The very act of saving/exporting only means a copy is created into the storage device. The true "original" never leaves the RAM and is erased as soon as the RAM gets occupied with another application. In other words, all the monkey pics in Open Sea are just copies. Even the monkey picture first exported into the HD of the artist is a copy too. So if it's not really decentralized and it's not actual "ownership" of an "original" digital file then what is the point of it? I say it's a scam because these are the two main promises of the NFTs. Neither are delivered in any tangible ways.
