Given how many “Web3” platforms and content creators this law would nuke out of existence, I’n genuinely surprised there isn’t more $$$ pushback.

Lobbying isn’t exclusive to supervillain-y agendas, it’s strange that deep pockets with a lot to lose aren’t being more active / fiscally vocal about their opposition to this type of legislature.

And can you imagine the sheer footprint of this type of tech? Given that there is no incentive to make filtering software efficient for these lobbyists, this could spell doom for companies that would need to scale it to ridiculous sizes; e.g. imagine what this would mean for Twitch, which already has a tough time with DMCA, as they would be legally mandated to run bloated filtering software on hundreds of thousands of live video streams all at once.

All I’m saying is if you have to name your legislature “SMART” you’re clearly compensating…

Web3 is already breaking every securities law on the books, so why not copyright law too? And if this bill passes they'll probably only go after sites that are hosting MPAA/RIAA content, not NFTs pirated from DeviantArt.

NFTs are just links, aren't they? Or did we already lose that battle, and linking to a copyrighted work is copyright infringement?

If that battle is lost, I fear the NFT will be part of why we lost it, due to the need to create artificial value beyond the link and meta information container features NFT's add onto art.

Steve Mould, one of the better known Science You Tubers, brought up one of the few solid cases most people in my circles thought could make sense: Tickets

A record of both attending and having paid for being able to attend an event seems like a great use of the NFT, but it's not too sexy and I am quite sure the likes of Ticket Master would have something to say about the idea, and would want their share. (which always seems to be a bit more than people feel makes sense)

My point is that people have been selling links to plagiarized pirated copies of artwork that they didn't create; they aren't selling links to the original.
