Someone Stole Seth Green's Bored Ape, Which Was Supposed To Star In His New Show WWW.BUZZFEEDNEWS.COM The actor has been pleading on Twitter with “DarkWing84,” who bought his ape from a scammer, to return it. This is definitely the most interesting of the recent NFT stories, mostly because it actually involves real copyright issues. Theoretically the ownership of the NFT grants copyright, which Green is using to make a real show. So in theory DarkWing84 could sue Green for using the Ape in the show, but I don't think that has actually been tested. Then there's the issue as to how much plausible deniability you have in purchasing a stolen ape when the history of the ape is encoded in the blockchain. I'm guessing that no part of this ever goes to court and this doesn't end up actually answering any of the questions it brings up. It is a good example of both how the blockchain doesn't solve problems and how it always comes back to legacy systems. Just like how cryptocurrency is really only valuable as a way to store dollars, NFTs that grant copyright are really only a different way of handling standard copyright. You're not eliminating the old way, you're simply building on top of it, adding a layer of problematic technology that doesn't actually simplify or eliminate any of the complexities it was seeking to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hey, eBay is getting in on the NFT game... eBay’s new vault facilitates digital trading of your non-fungible physical items WWW.THEVERGE.COM eBay’s vault turns your trading cards into an asset portfolio. eBay is going to build a museum to house things like collectable cards, sneakers, and comics. That way, instead of getting the collectibles you buy you can opt to get an NFT saying you own it while it sits in the museum. How is this any different from just having a plaque up at the museum saying the same thing, but without the energy waste or risk of digital theft? You know, the way it's worked at other museums for hundreds of years? Nothing. It's not at all any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Bitcoin drops 14%, falling below $24,000 as $200 billion wiped off crypto market over the weekend WWW.CNBC.COM Factors including rampant inflation and an imminent interest rate hike from the U.S. Federal Reserve, along with an issue at Celsius, are behind the sell-off.
