> if you make a screenshot of every Bored Apes and you use it as your avatar with the credits to the original owner, is a copyright violation? No

Yes, it is. At least in the UK and US where I've bumped into copyright laws. The copyright holder could DMCA your avatar off pretty easily

Sorry bud but your article is pretty wrong all over, you cut and dry infringed on their copyright. Web3 isn't above the law, it's above regulation (for now)

This is the point, and to me looks totally wrong, in 4/5 years every online platform will be full of DMCA requests.

The point here is: if you rip off the source and you don’t give credits or cut a image watermark, then is a copyright violation. But if don’t modify the digital art and you give all the credits to the author, should not be a copyright violation.

Well the artist can do it, they don't have to do it.

If the majority of artists are like yourself and don't care if others use their work freely (from another comment not just assuming) then copyright allows them to sit and smile as people enjoy their work.

If they do care, then it's lucky we have copyright :)

I understand it and it’s also legit but my point here is still: what the social platforms will do in the future when they will be full of DMCA takedown requests from the people who bought a NFT and others have made a screenshot of it?

Is the web we want? Just asking. Maybe yes. I don’t known, I want only to talk about this.

You are suggesting something I don’t believe will happen in reality so I can’t really answer your questions

Is an web full of DMCA requests the web I want? No. Do I believe that will in any way happen anyway? Also no
