I appreciate your response. In fact, I was searching for artwork to add to my collection in preparation for my next art exhibition. Thus, if possible, I would really like them in digital format. I vouch for the legitimacy and originality of your masterwork, and I am confident that it will inspire a great deal of admiration. I’m willing to pay 2(eth) Ethereum prices for each because I don’t want to encounter any copyright infringement issues. What do you think of these pieces of art that I would love to display at my art exhibition?
With a follow-up
Giving me the images as NFT is because i can’t prove that I’m the originator/creator of the image.i don’t want copyright infringement when the artwork becomes big assets in the NFT marketplace. I can only become the digital copy owner if you sell to me in the NFT market place. I will try walking you through the process all you need is an active Ethereum wallet to fund your NFT platform for minting the jpg to NFT. then I can buy the artwork in the marketplace which you will then withdraw your payment to your external wallet.
This is the marketplace where you will upload the artwork https://Artprimex.com
Create an account then make the arts available on the market place. When you are done, I will now buy them from you.Your style is unique and i can tell you its has great potential. The marketplace creates a good and transparent medium for the transaction…
My exhibition is also going to hold on this platform
It’s quite unbelievable to me but I am not sure as I am not very knowledgeable on NFTs and ET and such. Please let me know.
What i do wonder is that the “interested person” is telling you were to upload your art… AFAIK you should be able to make an NFT of your things whereever you want and then offer where you are comfortable with…
Beside the mere mention of NFTs, it’s the extremely flattering language that sets off the alarms for me They try so hard. All those words: “masterwork”, “inspire admiration”, “your style is unique”… It is so… artificial.
Not that those words can’t be true of your work, but it doesn’t sound like natural praise either. To me it screams “Listen, I’m trying to sell you something here. Because you’re worth it! Trust me, because I’m using fancy language to sound very important and legit”
AFAIK someone can “prove” the ownership with NonFugitiveTokens… said this in some only the link to an image of this is “embedded” and so if the image is taken away from the server someone can prove the ownership of something what can’t be show
So when you sell the “ownership” of an image proven with crypto… then you have to seperatelt prove that you does have the copyright or sells this also…
yeah, the first thing that came to my mind is nowhere a basic SONY PS can be masterwork or unique. TBH, there were better artworks there but they got so lazy they didn’t even bother to put at least some decent ones there.
None of them are “unique”. It’s a damned digital copy of some jpg. The fact that some fringe group decided that attaching a unique hash tab to one of these copies… ok, whtatever.
You can sell the works that you legally own any way that you want to. But, the first(!) thing to do is to secure legal proof that [you say, under penalty of perjury, that …] you actually own it.
In the United States, that will cost you $35 and a visit to https://copyright.gov. (You can register a “collection” of works for one price, and copyright applies severally to each.) Once the website processes your payment and returns you a copyright registration number, your rights are now secured. (The pretty piece of paper will eventually arrive in the mail, but you don’t have to wait for it.)
I personally consider the entire idea of “NFT” to be “basically a scam,” in that I would never choose to market my duly copyrighted works in this way. Importantly, the scheme suggests things that legally are not the case. And, I would never have sufficient confidence in the idea, whether I was selling or buying. (As a buyer, I might be “buying” goods from someone who had no legal right to sell it.)
Also: if you peddle your creative works in a known-legitimate venue (in the US), you should expect to be asked for your “copyright registration number.” For exactly the same reason that a reputable used-car dealer will demand to receive your state title certificate. It is legally-acceptable proof that you actually own the thing that you are trying to sell. (And the registration can be very quickly verified online.)
The moment you put your artwork on the web, it’s all “free game”…
And if you’re not careful, somebody else is going to take a swipe at it.
There was this infamous case of an artist, who saw his art show up on a box package for a graphic card . Without his knowledge. Not sure how that ended legally tbh…
Nowadays there are tools to watermark your images invisibly, or ‘fuzz them’ against AI scraping.
But again, what ends up on the web is hard to protect.
And yes… NFT’s are a scam, no matter how you look at it
Follow the legal rules. (In the US …) Register your copyright before you “publish” anything. (Keep a written diary of exactly what you did and exactly when you did it.)
They try so hard. All those words: “masterwork”, “inspire admiration”, “your style is unique”… It is so… artificial.
