Can't they just send a DMCA take down to the place that hosts those NFTs?

There's no one I'd rather be than me.

The real anwser is Open Sea is actively ignoring requests to take down stuff like this.

He may have to get a lawyer to get it down.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Legally, they also have a right to all money earned with this NFT-poo poo, so they could not only shut them down, but ruin them financially, too! This risk by the way is why only dumbasses break laws so flagrantly.

yea the only real response is what Jessie did and make a joke about his 'worth', getting mad at them won't do anything and it's not like they really are doing anything to you. If you're genuinely worried about people thinking you endorse it you can just say 'yea this is stupid I didn't sign up for this'.

Rhino, you did this to me!

I believe it was open sea that's also using Google as an image host (or at least was) so some artists started sending takedowns to Google and now a bunch of nfts are just dead links

People buying NFTs do sometimes seem dumb enough to believe anything, so it would probably at least be a good idea to alert your fans.

Letting strangers enrich themselves in your name is a can of worms you'd really avoid

My first reaction after the initial freak-out would be to alert the rights management company I'm a member of and then laugh and lean back while their dumb little attempt at crime is crushed down together with all their dreams and hopes

I mean I think it's okay to get angry at NFT assholes stealing your poo poo. It's happening to artists constantly right now. Saberspark's response is perfectly reasonable??

Not wanting to have your name associated with something that tends to upset a large part of the internet (and for good reason!) seems like a valid reason by itself, to say nothing about someone just straight-up trying to profit off your name and reputation.

I think you'd want to put out a pretty public post saying "I'm not part of this, this is a scam, don't touch it." to make the unwashed internet masses aware, but yeah there's not much else you can do besides be frustrated at scammers for dragging your public persona into their scam. But idk looks like that's also the stance Saberspark is taking too:

Yeah I wasn't addressing anything anyone in particular was saying. I get why people would be frustrated, even if it is all even more pointless than usual to bother with any other reaction.



Anyway, I don't remember seeing this video posted here before:

that he only found 9 anime that are possibly ok, shows that this season is pretty weak for new series

just watch ranking of kings while you wait to see if any of these shake out. i personally can't imagine running an anime youtube channel and forcing myself to watch every single series for the sake of review. they put out like 40 shows a season now!!

I agree that this is a great title, but the video itself isn’t researched very well. It takes Rich at his word about things that we know he was lying about, like the profitability of the site and his treatment of Integral. It’s also kind of aimless, not quite a biography and not quite a history of the site or an expose of how he abused his wives and children. But it makes him look like the pathetic piece of poo poo he was, which is probably not as widely known as it should be. There are still parts of the story that aren’t known, but it’s also exploitative to go into his family life while his family is still recovering and grieving in what must be a very painful and complicated way. It was only two months ago.

It’s nice to hear Cybershell again, anyway. And the sting with his tweet insulting people with kids who commit suicide is the perfect note to end on.

He also dislikes Jojo, blatantly misreading characters to a degree that implies he failed to pay attention. He'd also double down on this in his more recent video about live-action anime adaptations.

Marcus didn't think they were overrated, just not as good as people remembered. He had a lot to like about even 3, which is entertaining if goofy.
