I have a question about copyright and IP law infringement consisting of NFTs. Can you just make an NFT from a painting that you have painted from an image from the google database, even if you have "copy" painted it yourself with maybe some differences in color, size etc. Or may you only use / combine unlicensed images or paintings. I am seriously looking for someone who can tell me more about this before I start minting content.
Help much appreciated, not here to steal art.
An NFT associated with an image is not the image itself. So, when you buying or selling an NFT, you are not buying or selling the image. You are buying or selling a token. If use a copy of an image to sell the NFT and you don't have the right to use the image, then you are probably violating copyright law.
