Video: NFTs Are Legally Problematic

by LegalEagle ft. S. Mould & Coffeezilla

This video is very easy to understand.

Key points:

  1. NBA Top Shots - this great NFT scam proves who promises NFTs might just take the money and run away with no responsibility
  2. Bored Apes and the like - in reality are just links to public hosted images the buyer does not own
  3. Click-Wrap Agreements - an NFT is equivalent to an hyperlink and you can't own an hyperlink
  4. Smart Contracts - are programs and not necessarily real, valid contracts. They cannot be enforced
  5. Copyrights - NTFs do not replace the copyright law and do not give the buyer copyright right, just a license to use something which might change at any time!
  6. Art created by artificial intelligence - cannot be copyrighted as law says only humans can create "art", another extra reason Bored Apes and the like are not art and cannot be protected by law
  7. NFTs - are a market manipulation to sell fake art by creating artificial scarcity in the market and people who buy them are getting nothing but a limited license, there is absolutely no consumer protection
  8. IPFS - makes the scam worse as the destination resource of those ipfs links embedded in NFTs smart contracts can change at any time

Conclusion: a wise buyer should not invest in non-fungible tokens.

Berty Messenger for iOS and Android – Zero Trust Open Source Peer-to-Peer Messenger based on IPFS protocol

Bild/Foto
No Face, No Name, No Number, No SIM card, No Internet! Berty is a messenger that doesn’t require any of your personal data or network connection (using Bluetooth Low Energy BLE). All conversations are encrypted with end-to-end encryption, in a fully distributed network.

It is a peer-to-peer messenger with no servers, no cloud – your data is only stored on the device where Berty is installed and used. No one would be able to access the data or shut the app down, not even the developers.

Being P2P, it means the IP address needs to be available to route messaging, but their site explains a bit about how they’ve tried to mask this. Whilst Briar is an excellent alternative, it is still Android only. The closest alternative is maybe Jami, but it lacks a non-Internet Bluetooth alternative if I recall correctly. Interestingly, Berty also can use Airdrop (iOS to iOS) and Android’s Nearby as alternative protocols.

You can share your details and add contacts via a QR code, public key, or an invite link. It is currently available on both iOS and Android, with desktop clients to follow.
