      But the Jim Carrey mug...I would assume that the mug itself had permission to use the image. If that's the case, then isn't the NFT a photo of a permissible product? Or would that make the issue with the mug and not the original image?

    Useful info. Question on a scenario - I created a video in the virtual world using my unique avatar, I added music to it and uploaded to youtube (who has licensed the music - therefore there was no copyright infringement at the time I uploaded the video. Can I turn the video into an NFT? DO I NEED TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE ORIGINAL MUSIC CREATOR OR IS IT FAIR USE SINCE IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED ON UA-cam WITH THEIR PERMISSION?

    I'm a photographer who has taken over 10,000 images over many years. So I own the copyright to all of my images free and clear. Let's use my UA-cam profile image as an example. I took the pic of my cat in my place of residence so this copyright is quite indisputable.
    Would it be a bad idea for any reason to make either one of one or a limited series of this image whereas I still retain the copyright? (Example 1/1 or 1/5 & 2/5 & 3/5 & 4/5 & 5/5)

If everyone is anonymous in the Metaverse and paid by untraceable blockchain currencies, is this the end of copyright and IP protection online?

    The “transformed” *Drake* work from the video or still image is an unlicensed *derivative.* The original work is simply being "recast" into an art-styled geometric work - *I don't see commentary or parody!* (re: Rogers v. Koons)
    Drake's gonna be f__ken pissed-off when he sees his “million-dollar celebrity likeness” being *tokenized & exploited* by a third-party.
    Either reach out to Drake and his representative for a permission license or start figuring out how you’re going to pay for your copyright (~Fair Use~) defense attorney’s legal bills.
    Alternatively and to help keep you out of legal jeopardy, make additional changes to the original work AND include *SUBSTANTIVE* commentary + get an IP attorney to review your Fair Use work BEFORE monetizing/releasing it *...and after that, get a second IP opinion!*

      Hi Mari. It depends upon the licensing agreement you have with InShot. Go to the InShot website and look for terms of service. Then you can read where those stickers are allowed to be posted. If you’ve posted in contravention of the agreement, then I would not advise using those stickers in future videos.

    Thank you for this informative video. I still have a question if you could help me out. So I have 4 fanart pieces based on classic books that I want to release as NFTs. One is based on Frankenstein, another on Chthulu, and a third is based on the Last of the Mohicans. I am not worried about these 3, but my fourth is a fanart of Frank Herbert’s dune from 2015. My art is not based on David Lynches film and is purely my own interpretation of the books. However, since the new movie is coming out and Frank’s son technically continues the story, is it okay for me to release that?

    What if I were to take a frame/picture from video of a show of, say Ellen DeGeneres? Similarly, what if I took part of the frame/picture of the video/show and use it or share it on social networks?
    I've taken frames/pictures from music videos of people I support and they don't even care. They actually comment thanking me for sharing. Not just covers, their own songs. Most recently, I took a picture of a ten year old girls first original via a Spotify. It's noticeable it's a Spotify screen, but the word is not shown in what I shared.

I made a graphic edit of the famous painting the fallen angel by Alexandre Cabanel, and not most of the details of the painting was transformed how ever the whole message of the edited painting I made has brought another meaning to the original artwork. I am turning it into an nft and list it on the blockchain just to say that the edit was made by me. But, I am not having any intention to sell it. Assuming that I did not have the full/any permission for the artwork's copyright, is it counted as illegal or not. Can I be sued even tho I do not have any intention of selling it?
