As I mentioned in other threads, it is up to the consumer to be discerning, no different than anything else a consumer has to do. If they want to be part of a community to upgrade the artwork in their possession, then find those kinds of NFTs. If they don't want any ability for their art work to be upgraded, then find those kinds of NFTs.
Some people buy things based on hype.
Some people buy things based on their ability to resell it.
Some people won't be able to.
Thats how market work. Whose problem is that? Its not mine, its probably not yours, so who cares just because NFTs are involved.
> no different than anything else a consumer has to do
false.
if I buy a coffee machine and inside the box there's a brick there are a number of ways I can use to have my money back.
what you suggest is like buying the coffee machine from an unknown person who's also wearing a mask, altering their voice and doing their business in a shady parking lot picking up the box from the back of a van with no plate.
whose problem is that? its not the seller's problem. be a seller then. if you don't want to sell plagiarized goods then don't sell plagiarized goods. there's plenty of buyers.
I don't really understand this buyer centric side of things on behalf of ...all buyers... ? are you debating a big purchase?
if you can't tell what's good and what's plagiarized, the only safe assumption is that everything's plagiarized and stay away from it, both as seller and buyer.
black markets are illegal for a good number of reasons.
can you elaborate? If you have things to sell and you have the copyright or license to sell these things, how would that be scamming people or moving the goal post of this conversation? who cares if the consumer can't tell the difference, if you personally don't want to scam people with plagiarized work (or scam in the sense of simply making money in that fraudulent way) then you still wouldn't have done that.
do you have a different foundational belief than even that? are you of the belief that anything in the NFT format (a set of software methods with a getImage() method) is a scam?
> If you have things to sell and you have the copyright or license to sell these things
then you don't need to sell NFTs, you need a government that issues those licenses and protects your copyright by maintaining a (very expensive) judicial system and a PayPal account
> are you of the belief that anything in the NFT format (a set of software methods with a getImage() method) is a scam?
since there is no way yo verify in the chain the validity of the proposal, you have to assume that it is not valid.
it's simply logic
if someone says to you "see? I'm the author because I have this document that certifies I made it" then you can simply give the guy your money and buy the item
he will give to you a signed piece of paper that says 'this is copy #N of the series XXX made by AUTHOR'S NAME' in exchange
done
what does the NFT add to the process, except the (scammy) prospect of being a remunerative investment?
would you buy the same item if there was no 'get rich quick' label attached to it?
