We need to talk about NFT plagiarism

[@Slickstaff_Stainpants]

the clothing industry is famous for stealing artwork. There is no copyright protection in China. I'd stick to compressing the shit out of JPGs (make it useless for print) and if someone wants to buy the original image then the NFT ownership can be transferred. I dont think there is an easy answer. Digital theft will always be with us and stopping it will always be a game of catch up.

No copyright protection in China? Woah

Even if you could encode the data into a proprietary format that could only be read be a particular software that only allowed display of the image.... someone could screen cap it. This is why we have copyright law and the lawyers that practice it. It is theoretically possible to develop an AI copyright system that could grant copyrights and scour the internet for non-licensed or even out of license iterations of the work. Maybe it could even be good enough to flag parts of a work used in another. But until then NFT for digital works relies on honesty, which as you point out is lacking.

That's a good point

Ideas can not be stolen or plagiarized. You can not own or copyright an idea.

What about an artwork you produce? Is there a way to verify who specifically spent the time making it?

Check out ZestBloom. I think we can help you find a solution. We have an IP - solution to quantifying unique/original NFT's (this includes music, graphics, VR, & 3D art). Protecting artists' work. Our system will be sophisticated with added encryption, invisible watermarking, and timestamping signature of artwork (all naked to the eye).
