Handling intellectual property rights continues to cause headaches in the NFT world - we've seen problems with the BAYC terms and conditions, Tiffany & Co.'s lawyer removing clauses from their NFTiff agreement on the fly as the community pointed out over-reaching license terms, and now upset in the Moonbirds community as the pixelated owl images are licensed under the CC0 license.
In this episode, I talk about the latter, and discuss why I think we're having problems.
It really boils down to two things:
- lack of understanding of intellectual property law by ordinary buyers of NFTs, and
- lawyers and the legal framework failing to catch up with a shift in the intellectual property landscape
The latter is more important, in my opinion.
Edited boiler-plate license agreements don't cut it in the NFT world, but that's what we're seeing.
