@eaplmx@twtxt.net I’m all for less restrictions. The land ownership is a good example. When people in this country buy a piece of forest land, they don’t put fences around it and let people and animals use it freely. In contrast, this obviously wouldn’t work for all land. You wouldn’t want strangers and wildlife randomly walking through your house - or at least i wouldn’t.
Back to the ownership of art. I value my pixelart somewhat and part of why I started making it, was to stand out of the crowd, that is social media and have something unique and memorable, that people can recognize me by. I’m not crazy, so if someone randomly finds it somewhere and starts using it as their profile picture, I’ll politely ask them not to, rather than throwing a law book at them and claiming non-existent damages.
With NFTs, the situation is different. People usually know it’s wrong, but still felt entitled to just steal art and keep all of the profits for themselves, while the artist who did all the work gets nothing at best and a damaged reputation at worse. Even if the license the art is under allows it, I still see it as misuse of the art and the license, that was most likely intended for the art being used for some nice website illustrations or to help people express themselves online, rather than for someones pyramid scheme.
