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.

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 Influencers have generally been replaced by artists/builders etc.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) 💫

that may be what we want ideally from the small community we see today, but with billions of users, people we post copyrighted material all the time and people will mint it unknowingly. like it’s actually illegal for me (or anyone) to post a picture of an exhibition i went to on instagram lol but no one cares about that in web2. but if the photo is minted and i start making significant money from that post whilst the artist in the exhibition doesn’t… then yeah, people will start to have issues. problem is: people don’t KNOW that posting a photo of an exhibition on instagram is illegal. they don’t know copyright law, why would they? so it’s a slippery slope
