NFTs mit gestohlener Kunst?
Im Prinzip sind die liberalen Creative Commons-Lizenzen tot. Oder?
Denn wenn sich jedeR dahergelaufene BWLerïn mittels NFT's eine goldene Nase verdienen kann, an Kunst und Musik, die unter einer CC-0, CC-BY, CC-BY-ND oder CC-BY-SA -Lizenz steht, lohnt sich die Sache doch für Künstlerïnnen moralisch nicht mehr. Das jedenfalls schreibt unten ein betroffener Comic-Zeichner und mir würde es ähnlich gehen.
Ich veröffentiche meine Musik bisher unter CC-BY und werde ab jetzt genauer beobachten, ob und wie sich Dritte an der Kreativität von Künstlerïnnen bereichern.

We've got to talk about NFT's in the Arts and Music!
Are there any artist's or musicians here who have experiences with NFT's (Non Fungible Tokens) in art or music?
To me NFT's (I'd call them crypto based-watermarks) on songs or pieces of art seems the ultimate spin of capitalism and the coffin nail both for our planet and freedom. But I could be totally wrong and it's the solution to exploitative monopolists (like spotify).
What do you's think?

Als Antwort auf Torsten • •Importantly, I would argue that NFTs are "digital certificates of authenticity", but not watermarks: The existence of an NFT for a piece of art does not affect the art itself. As currently practiced, an NFT for a piece of art does not give the buyer any copyright or other legal claim to the piece of art. It's more like an autograph from the artist, and I don't see how selling autographs kills freedom. 🤔
As for killing the planet, you probably mean the energy cost of the popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum (current version). I agree that these are problematic, but fortunately, solutions exist: Other cryptocurrencies (Ada, Polkadot, …) use a different method (called "proof of stake") to secure the blockchain, which does not incur the exorbitant energy cost of the popular old method called "proof of work". In fact, Ethereum is meant to transition from proof of work to proof of stake in its 2.0 incarnation for precisely this reason. I concur that current NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain do incur an exorbitantly high energy cost. But I take a viewpoint which looks into the close future rather than the immediate present: Yes, the energy cost is a problem, but no, this problem will persist only for a very short time, as solutions are imminent.
As for capitalism, I don't understand the specific criticism here. Perhaps your sentiment is that because exorbitantly large sums of money are paid for some NFTS, they must be necessarily be part of the "capitalist class", as no "working class" person could afford these sums of money? Well. The art market has always been subject to strange prices. Why is a Picasso worth $1 million? It appears to me that NFTs, for the first time in history, enable a similar market for *purely digital* art. Nothing more, nothing less. That was not possible before. Whether the art market is a coffin nail for both our planet and our freedom is a separate discussion, I would say.
