David RevoyDo not buy NFT made with my art.
Do not make NFT with my Creative-Commons artworks.
If you respect my art, remember and apply this.
Here is my article about what just happened: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article864/dream-cats-nfts-don-t-buy-them
ArneBab@davidrevoy The cc by explicitly forbids indicating endorsement with a derived work: "You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use."
@ArneBab Hey Arne. 🙂 Yes, but the 'endorsment' rule works a bit differently: I met it already on fraudulent Kickstarter where the project tried to tell to the audience "I was on board with the team" or "I was bleesing their project" just by reusing my art. That's a attempt to steal the 'trust' linked to my behavior and relation with audience.
This NFTs have no real sign or explicit sign of endorsment.
But, in theory, I still have my Moral right, (on Notices of every CC and 2b(1) of the code.

@davidrevoy ah — I thought they had actually claimed endorsement.
Do you know whether the publisher actually got the cats from you or rather from some other page (i.e. directly from the deep dream page)?
@ArneBab No idea about the exact source. I can imagine with the care of a 10K item deployment, one does study the origin.
@davidrevoy one hint: When you link to such volatile stuff like a tweet of someone who’s mainly after money, best get it on archive.org at the same time, so your reference keeps working. Archive.org has an option when asking for a link to tell them to fetch it.
@ArneBab Right. That's a precious tip. Archive link are solids and also I like the fact (eg.in case of a Tweet) that poeple can't immediately interact with the Tweet to bash/write hainous/make justices their way. A static page frozen in time. I'll remember about it. That will also save me time on editing the article again and again.
@ArneBab A fun fact: I already had **3** request of NFT/Crypto enthusiast to do that with the Catavatar. They all emailed me before starting, mostly to discuss about sharing a percent of profit. I refused in the three cases for the same ethical reasons and they agreed on finding another generator, or hire an artist to make their own generator of art. In the case of the "Dream Cats" I had no email/PM/or DM. I understand in a way, CC-By is meant to be used this way... but for a 10K deployment...?!
@davidrevoy I’m trying to spread the word: https://twitter.com/ArneBab/status/1440953132595490816
@ArneBab Thanks!
