Block chain allegedly stops duplicate images being uploaded, so I guess when an artist tries to upload and is denied a court case or cease and dissist will ensue depending on whether or not it sold.

It has to be changed in a number of ways, I guess Block chain decides

# Huh?
If you change the hue of one pixel, you must get a new unique hash code, right?

# Possibly
But I've read it can tell if an image violates copyright laws of any image it's already processed therefore keeping the tokens unique

Let's say I'm a single pixel artist. I can create 16,777,215 unique works of art, each can be iterated or modified in 16,777,215 ways, each iteration should be a unique file, created at a unique time.

Right?

Just realised the filename adds a uniqueness to single pixel art. I could produce more than one unique single pixel artwork working in a single colour.

I'm going to be so rich!

# This last bit definitely isn’t true.
It’s simply not possible to detect this in an automated way, there’s no algorithm that can decide it. Ultimately, in the grey areas, it can only be determined by litigation.

On top of which, I do know enough about block chains to be certain this isn’t built into them.

# I guess it's the same as the actual art world
If you can buy direct from the artist via their platform or appointed, endorsed management you wouldn't buy of some random guy without a COA

Any work that I mint as XLVII will always carry my digital stamp and I will get a percentage every time it's sold on.
So in effect it's harder to fake than real life works but you can only show people your collection from your phone.

# The block chain will prove the transaction took place.
So the seller can prove they sold it and the buyer can prove they bought it (within the security provided by the block chain in question; if you have more than 50% of the computing power used for Bitcoin, for instance, you can control it completely.)

That’s about it.... It doesn’t prove the seller had the right to sell it. It doesn’t prove the seller didn’t sell something identical in some other manner.

# Pretty sure the art remains on the artists page after selling
Collectors can see exactly what you've minted and sold previously and for how much. It's a totally open market where you can't hide anything.
You could possibly repeat stuff on other platforms but as artist you need integrity, so you stick to the rules or you don't sell anything.

# delightful nonsense
blockchains do nothing.

why can't i copy your image and derive a nice big svg from it, stick it in a folder with this and modify the folder & files' metadata to suggest it was created and modified five years ago.
then i could generate an nft in a competing blockchain, cos it's all the rage don'tcha know, and sue you for breach of copyright?

i'd also be willing to bet that blockchains that store nfts and their transactions are far less attractive to serious miners, assuming proof-of-work consensus is used; i guess i'd be concerned for the long-term integrity of these blockchains.

# That's why you back yourself up
I have every brush stroke saved, of my digital work, every path of every vector and every psd of every gif made (this will take some digging).
You'd have to go to a lot of effort for a few points of an eth

If you did reproduce it and try to sell it serious collectors would still be looking to buy my work from me because they've been watching me for 5 years +

# fuck all
which is why people have been doing it wholesale; there's dozens of twitterbots, and the cunts behind this fad are tagging any and every post they can think of that might be considered interesting in some way to someone in the hopes of flogging a personal link to it that'll be useless in days.

the claim that a cease & desist could be issued is laughable, as the whole point of blockchain is once something's on there it can't be removed. still, the link they buy isn't generally a direct one to the post anyway, it's to a redirect, and I'm sure all the people paying millions for unique sequences of numbers will be chuffed as nuts to find out they point to a "this image was leached from Photohub" 404.
