Apologies for the shitty source, I couldn’t find a better one.
Steamboat Willie is a public domain film now.
It is also a top NFT.
A $1.2 million trading volume for something that literally anyone can buy, sell, give away, remix, redub, do anything with and not give Disney or anyone else a dime to do so.
Someone please explain the world we’re living in.
Just tried to verify this. Very hard. I saw a steamboat willy nft thing with 2000 items with offers of 0.45 ETH. I think that means that someone is selling tokens pointing to an image that is public domain and someone was willing to pay 1000$ for it.
