probably a stupid question but is it worth the hassle just for a webp image unless it is to piss of a company or a person then i see a reason why
Owning an NFT is analogous to owning a receipt. You don’t actually own the image and paying for one means you fell for a scam. Pointing that out is enough to piss off any NFT owners.
I actually like the idea of using them as nothing more than fancy receipts. They could be used to disintermediate creators and fans, with the right platform and technology combo.
I agree. An idea that I liked was that NFTs can be used to transfer items from one game to the next. Like a rare gun in COD can be transferred into Skyrim where it is a rare armor or something.
Don’t worry, you are in a technical place here on Lemmy and we where all shocked how many fell for that bs, feel free to rant cuz you won’t find many crypto bros here! ;)
Apparently many people are banking on a rebound.
There is no such thing as pirating an nft because the data is public. It’s freely available to download to everyone. What is valued by the market is the actual token associated with that data, which you cannot reproduce
By pirating an NFT you mean saving the image? Because the owner of an NFT doesn’t always own the copyright or license.
Why would you pirate something with no intrinsic value? It’d be like stealing seawater. Piracy requires booty, NFTs have none.
Don’t insult seawater, it definitely has more value than NFT
Is it even worth it to pirate NFTs, all the nft I saw has poor artistic value
And to be even more worthless, the NFTs aren’t even the image.
For what purpose? If you like it for a wallpaper out whatever… Sure?
Kek Nfts lol 💩
Nobody even wants the real ones 😂
The NFT is not an image. The NFT is the token on the block chain. You can copy an image all you want, but thats not pirating an NFT. NFTs are inherently unpirateable.
pirate all of them
Pretty sure this is fake. I tried to get them when this was released. It is garbage.
Spoiler: NFTs are fake.
should you pirate
an image or an nftPirate everything possible.
Technically NFT, a token is linked/owned by a wallet address. Which you cannot pirate/dublicate.
But in case of nft images, those tokens are linked to an image on ipfs through dapps, which you can download. But there is legal uncertainty about these images.
Always
Pirate anything you want, IP doesn’t exist, so you can’t steal it. You can’t be guilty of poaching unicorns.
To “pirate” a digital item is to get access to something you’re not supposed to (e.g. software you’re only supposed to have if you buy a license to it). Downloading the image of an NFT is just fine as it’s public content. If you then claim that image is your creation (claim to be the artist) or profit of it (commercial use) that’s more drastic. Many NFTs the graphic attached to them isn’t the valuable part of the asset (e.g. the access it grants, or the voting power it authorizes, or how it interacts with a digital game/space) is the key thing that only the owner can do; you having a copy of the thumbnail image doesn’t change that.
WebP? Don’t even bother. JPEG XL, on the other hand, is legendary.
