Hello 6529 fam, we need to make a rights template builder.
One thing I have noticed in the last 3 days is that a lot of artists and collectors are confused about what they are buying or selling even in the 'normal' model
Where you can "build a license" from as restrictive to as open as you like, but fine-tuned to NFTs
3/ Once you have built your license, it creates a machine and human readable version of the license.
Easy mode is link it in the metadata of your NFT
Better mode is you link in the metadata and publish to Arweave and/or IPFS so that it is as decentralized as your NFT
4/ This is the right way to do it, so the license transports along with the NFT.
The license should be both human readable but also machine readable so various services can decide how to compose or not with the NFT.
It will also work with any exchange this way.
5/ I don't think this is a huge effort. We need someone legal expertise in copyright law relating to art. Artists and @awrigh01@6529Guardian and @thenftattorney do you have ideas?
We need a front-end developer, a bit of UX design and IFPS/Arweave expertise
6/ I would be willing to contribute some brain cycles and some ETH to pay people as needed. I hope other collectors and artists will help also, along with @opensea@SuperRare@withFND@KnownOrigin_io who should be all over this.
This should be a decentralized industry standard
7/ We can start with a version that works under US copyright law because that is the largest market so far, but once it is built, I don't see any reason why we couldn't port it to country by country versions
8/ Thoughts below please?

1/ OK, last NFT photography thread this weekend to try to consolidate a bit my thoughts on what we discussed.
I think it is important for me to share first my view of the medium-term future of photography NFTs because I think it makes a lot of the rest more clear
2/ My general view of photography NFTs circa 2025 is:
- Infinite collections
- Infinite artists (pros and advanced amateurs)
- Infinite very decent photography NFTs
- Average selling price: 0.00 ETH
- Average licensing revenue: $0.00
- Average print sales: Close to zero
3/ Photography already has tremendous supply.
The reason micro-stock sites exist is not because corporations are evil or something strange like that.
It is because there are an awful lot of pretty decent photographers who enjoy photography and will accept the marginal income
