so coinbase published an ad about crypto allowing the ip owners to benefit from their ip going viral

and right after the ad went live

the image of the main character has been stolen and used to launch a $100m market cap shitcoin

customer support @supercast

trying to sound smart /doingnumbers

Was it stolen or was it public domain? Half following this topic.

Ethereum builder & people connector. @juicebox revnet.eth.sucks defifa.net d33m.com

no idea, but it has its marketcap solely because of the ad

That's a very interesting point. When you say the ad, you mean the creative part or the brand (Coinbase) part? I believe that if I published the same video, it wouldn't be worth creating a memecoin for Mr Miggles. So, who actually added $100MM value to a cute video? IMHO, not the creator.
