  • Not sure where you got “hundreds” from. It was 40 that were sent to him by someone else. Plus a bunch of other stuff which wasn’t of minors (but obviously age isn’t the only criteria for legally or morality, so I’m unsure if the rest was “legit”).

    He got into trouble because they were offered and whilst he initially declined them, he later changed his mind and accepted them (by saying “go on” after being offered again later on), knowing full well what they were.

    And that’s where he crossed the line.

    He had a great job and reputation over decades of work on TV. Then he goes and does that and destroys everything. Not his smartest move, for sure.















  • It’s not even that.

    There is a huge lack of insight into who owns the copyright of an NFT. This confusion likely stems from the fact that an NFT comprises two things: (i) the identifiable, non-fungible, non-replicable, and transferrable cryptographic asset recorded on the blockchain, and (ii) the creative content. The creative content is separate and distinct from the actual asset recorded on the blockchain. As such, the person or entity that created the creative content owns the copyright. The content creator continues to own the copyright, even if the NFT is sold to someone else. It’s analogous to Jeff Koons selling artwork he created—Koons can sell the art to one person to hang on their wall, but since Jeff also owns the copyright, he can sell that same artwork as an image on t-shirts.

    NFTs are literally just URLs, pointlessly stored on “the blockchain”. URLs that point to servers which can be switched off at any moment.
