Please find the nft, then have her publicly submit c&d letters to everyone who purchased it for displaying without buying a license from her

first it was individual pieces of art, or other singular things like tweets, and basically all interest in that stuff has already collapsed

the second wave is all this procedurally generated animal avatar bullshit

hope she's not expecting them to respect the copyright

they're not asking for the copyright because they either don't know she keeps the copyright or don't care because they don't fear copyright enforcement

nft hucksters very much operate under "ask forgiveness, not permission" when it comes to other people's intellectual property rights

I want her to enforce her copyright and get the NFTs taken down, but on the other hand I don't want her to be the target of cryptocoiner rage

I don't think the law would be on her side, to be honest. While she signed no contract, I think most courts would see an implicit grant to use and redistribute for work she was specifically hired to do and knew the main purpose of.

Oral contracts are weak and shouldn't be relied upon, but they do exist.

That she still is the primary copyright holder, I think is unquestionable, but either way, suing people who hired you over technical quibbles isn't a great way to get ahead.

It would be funny though

This landed in one of my spam boxes last week:

https://www.notboring.co/p/tokengated-commerce

quote:

We should ask: how does a community endorse another up-and-coming community on the internet? With collaborative tokengating: when two brands get together, and flip exclusivity into reciprocal inclusivity.

What are tokengated collabs? When The Hundreds does a collab with Deadfellaz, and you can unlock limited edition merch with an NFT from either of their collections, that’s a tokengated collab. When Superplastic does a collab with Gucci that’s gated to holders of a secret SUPERGUCCI NFT, that’s a tokengated collab.

Here’s where the magic starts to happen: I belong to my community, you belong to your community, but when we do a collab together, I can invite you in; and you can invite me in. Tokengated collabs flip exclusivity into reciprocal inclusivity. A century-old brand like Gucci gets to endorse a really hot brand like Superplastic, in a way where their fans are both inviting each other into this shared experience, and this shared community they now have together.

Interestingly, this idea also seems like it would only matter to people with excess money to burn on ephemeral junk. We'd best get on board at last, I anticipate ravenous demand for the SA x Christmas Island brand collab,

Calling it now: It's going to be some bullshit thing where the bag holder's computers are used to operate the backend of whatever service is tied to the token. It will be billed as the revolutionary innovation that finally addresses the one and only issue that NFTs suffered from.

It will crash as soon as one of those services is inevitably found to harvest real bank credentials.
