stolen

Not cool to steal puppy photos of our lovely @bertwurst.eth and try to make tokens out of their photos.

Reported the post as stolen.
It does however also raise the question of where the boundaries of fair use are. And about image rights on publicly posted images. Not sure if when part of a posted photo is used to create something new is more remixing than stealing.

We Are The Art

I think it’s kind of like the legal definition of Art versus pornography, you know it when you see it.

And scammy, true. Not saying this case is one to defend. But as we are exploring fair use of iconic art in the /wearetheart projects, I was just thinking about how this is always a good thing to keep talking about. Keep everybody sharp and move with the times, too.

If it was Ghibli I’d call it fair. But removing the background on someone’s photo and then using it to build momentum for a coin is scummy
