Decentralizing Web3 Terms & Conditions
Today’s Guest: Max Curnin + Alex Modell
Co-Founders, CEO + COO - Remaster.io
For better or worse, one of the core narratives contributing to the meteoric rise of NFTs is the assumption that owning an NFT gives you ownership of whatever is linked or associated with it.
Though certainly a possible use case, its much more difficult to execute in practice than in theory. Of course, if you’ve got an NFT self-custodied within a Metamask or Ledger, you own the NFT. However, if that token is referencing art or some other work in its metadata, understanding the nuances of related IP rights gets far more complicated.
