Feb. 2, 2018, Can Blockchain Technology Solve Copyright Attribution Challenges of Digital Work? by Dr. Hadar Mazor, on IPWatchdog.com Practical blockchain purposes to solve copyright attribution problems: Efforts are being invested in leveraging blockchain technology to resolve challenges associated with copyright attribution to provide acknowledgment of copyright of a digital work of art to its holder or author. Problem: A digital work of art primarily exists in the form of intangible artifact and the digital work of art may not fit the form of the high-stakes international art market, which continues to rely on unique, original, tangible objects. Since a digital work of art does not yield artifacts that can be easily owned and traded in a conventional sense, their value may not be appropriately estimated. Copyright and other intellectual property tools are frequently employed to countervail this problem but with little success. Difficulty with this model: "Nonetheless, decentralized blockchain data storing technology relies on the trust of the group." She looks at a product called "NKOR" which "aims at utilizing a decentralized, cryptographically secure database blockchain-based technology, to document the recordation, reproduction, distribution and trade of digital works of art." http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/02/02/blockchain-technology-solve-copyright-attribution-digital-work/id=93161/ http://nkor.io 4.

March 7, 2018. The Blockchain Is Just Another Way To Make Art All About Money by Oliver Roeder on fivethirtyeight. Mentions Bea Ramos and Jason Bailey where the author suggests that crypto art's allure inclues moneyand power. Quotes: "But as I dove deeper into the promise of crypto-art, it seems to me more likely to democratize and decentralize not art itself, but art commerce." "Crypto-art seems to embrace Warhol’s philosophy. Sure, Rare Pepes and CrytoKitties can’t fetch anywhere near the astronomical prices that traditional art can sometimes command. But in crypto-art, commerce is wrapped like a kudzu vine around the industry’s newly formed artistic infrastructure." https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/blockchain-is-just-another-way-make-art-all-about-money/ 2. March 12, 2018. The State of Crypto Creativity in 2018 by Creative Crypto online magazine Quote: "The are big implications of this new hierarchy of information - security, stability, speed, transparency - but the most impactful repercussion of the blockchain ecosystem is its ability to monetize our creative content. All of it. Imagine getting a micropayment for every Instagram shot, every witty Tweet, every Medium article, every Pinterest sketch, and every blasted Facebook post you send into the depths of Silicon Valley servers. Think of every aspect of your practice earning you equity in a valued blockchain. This new normal of open-source information could kickstart an entirely new economic foundation for creative work." Mentioned some familiar names, Steemit, Creativechain and Po.et, but learned about Publica for Writers and Lbry for video hosting. https://lbry.io/ https://publica.com/ https://steem.io/ https://www.po.et/ https://www.creativechain.org/project/ - launching platform in 4 days! 3.

In return, they receive forgiveness in the form of SIN tokens. 85% of the proceeds go to medical debt forgiveness." Appreciated note: "SIN tokens have no value and we have no plans to try to make them valuable. This is a conceptual art piece. Confessing and buying SIN tokens is how you participate in the art."

With us guiding it, it will create a new unique artwork every week, put it up for auction and sell it: creating a unique digital, transferable edition of the art. If we do our job right, it will make better and better art over time. The humans that help it will be rewarded in turn for doing so." It uses the idea of a "curation market" which is a community/market model that "allows groups to more effectively coordinate & earn from value they co-create around shared goals." https://medium.com/@simondlr/lets-summon-an-autonomous-artist-a-bot-that-creates-owns-and-sells-its-own-art-ada1afad086a Sample curation market code: https://github.com/ConsenSys/curationmarkets 5.
