If you could own color on the blockchain—and earn royalties from it each time an NFT that uses those colors trades, which colors would you mint? This is what we're going to make possible at the upcoming @colordotmuseum NFT market.— Omar Farooq (@curator1of1) January 29, 2022

"The color PURPLE is a trademark of 3M," reads a 3M box, BoingBoing reported in 2010.

I’ve only dabbled in the space, but the taxes are still confusing. Ultimately I’ve funneled most things through Coinbase, so I’ll go with whatever they send me on the 1099 and hope for the best.

twitter says you can probably bug godaddy (they're apparently hosting it) to take action at this link. what they've done is so big and blatant a lot of people are very mad, they're probably going to get sued out of existence very quickly. the magic blockchain thinking says "we're not selling the actual music, just a link to the spotify page so we're not violating any copyright" but there's still album art, trademarks, likeness etc. that people can take legal action on.

not entirely sure how this is any different from betting on fantasy football tbh

it's basically just album cover trading cards right? you're purchasing conceptual cache.
obviously the accompanying artwork/photography/iconography has no business being involved but honestly it seems no less morally bankrupt than the racist fame monkeys

Looks like Hitpiece has been taken down, for the time being at least.

no less morally bankrupt than the racist fame monkeysit's using other people's art without permission as a base for a stupid scam which makes it worse than just doing a slightly-less-stupid (in that it's not going to attract the same level of legal attention immediately) scam that's not piggybacking on the art of others.
there were legal challenges to fantasy football in the past but it was determined that statistics are public domain and not covered by any intellectual property or right of publicity laws but obviously the same argument doesn't apply here.

spotify is going to do this on their own soon enough, i'd rather it be scammy and weirdthey shoulda kept the names of the albums and then bobson dugnutt the artists and done msPaint versions of the cover, that woulda been an art project

Are you ready Rocket Factory? The rocket project taking flight in the NFT space? Join us for this project showcase as we learn all about this new type of NFT!
― Chappies banging dustbin lids together (President Keyes), Wednesday, 2 February 2022 16:09 (two years ago) link
Tom Sachs: Rocket Factory is a trans-dimensional manufacturing plant, which uses NFTs as brick stones to build new NFTs. Design your own, never-before-seen NFT rocket and watch its physical copy launched to the “outer space”! The Component NFTs will be claimed randomly, but how you combine them to mint YOUR Rocket is entirely up to you.

as predicted hitpiece is getting serious legal attention and the RIAA seems far more interested in suing them into oblivion than cutting a deal like they seemed delusional enough to believe would happen

ooops all lawsuits!

lol the RIAA had no problem suing single mothers for $300,000 because their son downloaded "LiNkIn-pArK-numb.exe", what made these guys think this wouldn't happen
― frogbs, Sunday, 6 February 2022 03:28 (two years ago) link
there's no way they weren't anticipating it but it seems like they had the "disruption!" "move fast break things" attitude of "they'll see what a great opportunity it is and we can cut a deal" or something similarly delusional in this context
― ufo, Sunday, 6 February 2022 03:32 (two years ago) link
They could have also had a lawyer telling them that since they weren't actually selling anything but a link to a picture of cover art they were golden.
If I made a NFT of the words "Derek & The Dominos - Layla" would anything be actionable?

I remember people claiming that Bitcoin was perfect for hiding money if you were going through a divorce because it's technically not money nor an asset. somehow I don't think that would work
