Cryptoart

as a follow up, last year i worked on a project with an artist where the sale of his intellectual property for 3 artworks totalled *42000 euros* for the full buy out, for use worldwide and in perpetuity.

and artists give this to social media platforms for free 😭

I wonder how on Earth social media platforms with these clauses deal with unauthorized redistribution. Like with platforms' AI scrapping everyone's social media. People post things they don't have "rights" to all the time.

It's like making a deal with the man across the street to take his neighbor's house 🏠

I agree there is a much better social understanding of what is appropriate. I do wish the legal side was more reflective of this sentiment. Otherwise, the door is always open for unjust legal retribution. Companies ignore things like fan art until it gets into the realm of (perceived) competition.

good point to raise! short answer is: they don’t do anything. we’ve all just sort of collectively accepted that we can post whatever online. even me sharing artworks by artists I love is technically illegal (unless it’s free of copyright, usually 70 yrs after the artist’s death), but artists are happy to have their work shared (as long as it’s not commercialised by the person sharing and credits are provided), so they don’t kick up a fuss and platforms don’t respond
