Nice to see another AMA about NFT in Solana again.
My question is simple:
There are some art out there on the internet that are not NFTs yet but kinda " open source " and their artists allow the use of them even for business.
Is using such art and minting it as NFT gives me the " copyright " of it in the blockchain domain? since i’m the first one to mint it in the blockchain ?
IANAL -
No, minting art does not make you the owner of that art nor does it change the licensing terms you’ve agreed to.
u/0xbanana_ touched on this in another answer. In addition to digital provenance that NFTs provide, many teams are empowering creators by allowing licenses and copyright rules to be assigned to specific assets.
One such team is Arweave, decentralized information storage system, who introduced their Universal Data License feature. Creators can program the Universal Data License in any way the want, defining their royalties, the splits, the length of the licenses, and more natively on the NFT.
