| nfts dont prevent copying, the content is easily accessible by anyone with standards for doing so. hence why us crypto people find the "but you can right click save" as pretty funny. yes, you can! its freely available to everyone. "Information wants to be free. Information also wants to be expensive, and that tension doesn't go away"- Stuart Brand, wrote this in whole earth catalog in the 70s. we're still learning what this means. > "wikipedia has produced incalculable value but the users don't generally pay anything for it." and it is built on the back of free labour, and unquestionable authority. (ever tried to edit something that a wiki editor disagrees with- banned). I think its better we find ways to pay people. if paying artists and musicians looks like nfts ,so be it. better than what we had before. The ceo of spotify is worth $5billion. The musicians get fractions of cents. The musicians on https://zora.co/ and https://beta.catalog.works/ are getting paid decently, and are distributing the work to the whole world for free at the same time. Sounds great to me. |
Even if we find ways to pay people, a world where everything is open source would make life cheaper for artists. Their car would be cheaper to repair, medical treatment would be cheaper. Really we need to cost down the economy no matter what other things we do.
