a thought this morning: assuming Zora & Rodeo’s ‘creative social’ model aims to reach more normies, it will always stay a place for creators/artists posting pictures of their own work only OR photos that people take themselves of non-copyrighted material. Web2 socials brush the question of copyrighted material under the carpet most of the time and ppl mostly just accept it because the person posting isn’t making money from the post. For eg) I can post photos of an exhibition I went to without any backlash on Instagram. If I were to do the same on Zora or Rodeo, and earn money from a photo of an artists work on display, this could quickly involve commercialised copyright issues. So posting certain forms of content on these platforms is defacto limited. If the apps do indeed scale one day to involve millions of users that aren’t aware of these legalities, how would these platforms respond? wondering if anyone else has thought about this.

have thought about this and it will for sure become a huge issue. posts on the blockchain can’t be “deleted” but the platforms will probably have to implement some censorship/hide/report tooling that removes problematic posts from the interface. the question will be — who is responsible? the platform for facilitating this or the poster for violating copyright laws? at what point does the fish become big enough for offended parties to send out the legal team?

so two side idea to this: so many things get lost. ipfs links die or get unpinned or cloud storage isn't maintained b/c $$. like the link and the transaction are still 'there' but w/ non-code//program art (i.e., images, video formats) unless its stored in a 'protected' way there is no guarantee. tons of things go 'missing' or get lost after a few years & will anyway... so there's no reason to believe they couldn't also (to use ipfs speak) not keep things 'pinned' which would cause them to disappear. also, as we know (or at least i know from zora) i could just upload a new image and nuke something ppl have bought. if there's any backdoor w/ zora to 'just' be able to upload... arweave might be an answer, but ppl have to pay for storage, but many platforms don't want to pay b/c they want you to pay, right? tldr: most things will disappear, collect carefully from artists that know what they're doing ;)

good point benna and yes as they try to scale up and reach beyond artists they are heading into that danger zone all the while developing for a social media market and leaving the artists behind who built their community this is what i’ve been thinking about…as they make changes that don’t support artist’s sales the artists will leave and the platforms will likely crumble

Web3 platforms will eventually have billions of users, but these platforms will not look like tumblr or ig. If your roadmap is a (25 cent) social media platform you are ngmi. To answer the question, post whatever you want. People will only buy it if they feel you have enough rights (no one buys copyminted work etc). Ideally in the specific case the gallery/museum would negotiate rights with artists and post official versions which could be collected, but most trad art orgs are probably 10+ years away from embracing these ideas. Influencers have generally been replaced by artists/builders etc. No one wants the unofficial social media post of the artwork, they want the artwork (directly) 💫
