Boxturret posted:also how does the ownership rights of an ape nft image deal with an animator making a dozen variations of it for animating? is that like art forgery or something? i'm assuming TRAF here basically falls under BAYC, since they mention it in the tags at the bottom of that youtube screenshot? if so, then unless some other provisions apply for this variation of dumb ape art, then it does not actually appear that buying an nft entails any transfer of IP rights, as the BAYC terms and conditions posted elsewhere (maybe just in the grey forum thread, i forget) state that the buyer gains a license (in essence just a right to use the company's IP under certain conditions and for certain purposes). more importantly, this license isn't even defined as being exclusive or irrevocable, so for all you know BAYC might at some point decide to withdraw or alter the license, or decide that it's fine if someone other than the person/wallet with the nft does anything with the IP - or at least isn't worth the bother of any legal action anyway does anyone have any idea what the legal concept is behind buying this episode? i went to the bit.ly link and it told me nothing except that somehow at the time of writing it has 211 owners. are you supposed to be entitled to a cut of whatever revenue it might make, or be able to decide in any way on how this IP is used, or is it simply another case of "idiot people are expected to be willing to pay massive amounts of money for this for no remotely sensible reason whatsoever, so you'd better get in on it right now if you want to get rich"?

Computer Serf posted:https://c4ss.org/content/55643 i guess it's all right if a few dozen or even a few hundred people with roughly equal shares get into a DAO, your vote might still carry some weight then and you could even conceivably lobby among the other shareholders for any particular decision, but good flippin' luck having any meaningful impact on what happens to a DAO if everyone else actually does end up buying in and your vote is just one among tens of thousands if not more, or - and this is obviously more likely yet - the majority of votes is controlled either by a handful of big-money investors or simply the actual DAO's creators themselves and if they don't think that'll happen to lefty initiatives if those initiatives actually stand to generate money as the article helpfully highlights, well, lol it also has a twitter screenshot of someone identifying as a "blockchain socialist" who's really excited about crypto for the labour movement because with regular currency the government can just seize unions' money if it wants to. apparently the fear of government interference is why crypto and DAOs appeal more to these people than boring old NGOs and crowdfunding services, but i wonder what they believe will actually happen if such a union needs to spend money after it's converted its regular currency to crypto, or when a poor oppressed Ethiopian farmer needs to buy something with the crypto a bunch of white people from the other side of the Atlantic sent him also, from the same article: quote:Web3: A broad field, still being defined, but gesturing towards a decentralized internet where users control their data

Eeyo posted:so presumably hacking a bitcoin exchange is illegal. all the "code is law" proselytising notwithstanding, at the end of the day the people who've acquired crypto currencies or nfts or whatever's being traded via the blockchain by exploiting vulnerabilities in smart contracts (i do so hate that term) do not have any valid legal title to their newfound wealth. nobody had actually intended them to make off with all those assets without any kind of recompense. think of it like this: if you build your own house but you are a complete idiot or lunatic and you end up not adding any locks to your door whatsoever, and someone then walks in and takes anything of value from your house, is that person liable in terms of criminal and/or civil law? the answer is obviously "yes", and i see no reason whatsoever to treat anything related to the blockchain differently (even if everything to do with the blockchain is monumentally stupid and i wish it would all simultaneously explode) as for rug pulls, that's just plain fraud. you start out by making these promises and then absconding with all money or other assets people have given you based on those promises. you might be able to construe a more-or-less valid legal argument that you've done nothing wrong if you actually had not said anything at all about what you were offering or going to do after people had started buying, and if you actually did provide buyers with the assets they could reasonably have expected to receive, and if those assets may be used in whatever fashion the buyers may reasonably have expected, but that's never the case with these rug pulls, is it? it's always "BUY NOW AND FAME AND FORTUNE AND A SHITE GAME AWAIT YOU" and then after the initial sale suddenly everyone finds that the entire project is dead and all money has been drained from its pool and nobody else has any interest whatsoever in whatever you paid for. the key question is basically: were these people deceived? even if the rug puller miraculously had no evil intentions, the buyers would most likely still be entitled to nullify the underlying contract and be refunded if they had specifically been moved to buy the assets because of incorrect representation by the rug puller (i.e. if they would not have decided to buy had the rug puller truthfully said "oh after the initial offering i'll be moving to liechtenstein under a new name so don't expect your [whatever] to be worth anything or useful for anything this time next week")
