アーティスト知るべき!CC0とは?メリット・デメリットは? | NFTニッポン126
NFTを所有していても著作権も所有しているわけではありません。実際、ほとんどのNFTに関して所有していても著作権を与えられることはありません。標準的なライセンスでは、NFTの展示と所有権の譲渡のみが認められています。たまにBored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)のようにNFTにリンクされたアートの完全な商業権を所有者に付与しているものもあります。今回のNFTニッポンでは、もう一つの著作権の方法、CC0(Creative Commons 0)を紹介します。CC0は、クリエイターが作品の著作権を完全に放棄するライセンスです。これは奇妙なことのように思えるかもしれませんが、NFTの世界では珍しいことではありません。なぜ、自分の作品をCC0にするのでしょうか?本日はそんな疑問に加え、TonyのNFTプロジェクト「MAJISON」がCC0である理由についてもお話します。 NFT ニッポン公式 Twitter → https://twitter.com/nftnippon トニーの Twitter→ https://twitter.c

#10 - The CC0 dilemma, A sneak peak at Future PROOF and GRAILS II
The great dilemma of CC0 2022. A week back Kevin did the very fast moving change in policy that Moonbirds art would be CC0 moving forward. This is only the art not the trademark. This had the community split right down the middle. The main complaints were that: The change was introduced too fast and without warning. This lead some holders who had licensing deals in progress to lose out on 6 figure checks. “I’m looking at you Lakoz”. This could have been done for future collections like Ravens. So buyers would know ahead of buying what the terms were. On the...
