Own A Bit Of Plagiarism: Our Plagiarism Collection NFT Auction Close This Wednesday
from the plagiarize-away dept
Last month we launched out Plagiarism Collection of NFTs, plagiarized from law professor/conceptual artist Brian L. Frye’s paper (and NFTs) called Deodand. The content isn’t just about plagiarism, they’re instructing people to experiment with plagiarism, so they seem perfectly set up for being plagiarized. And, since straight plagiarism doesn’t add much value, we decided to take his text, and make it a lot nicer by creating wonderful, colorful, animated GIFs, turning them into NFTs and auctioning them off on OpenSea.
Of course, we were realizing, you haven’t really seen these NFTs up close — so today I’m posting all of them for you to see. If you’d like to own the NFT associated with any of them, just click through and bid in the auction:
I think my personal favorite is Plagiarism Piece 2, though others have been growing on me. I was unsure about Plagiarism Piece 7 and Piece 8, but the more I look at each of them, the more both have been growing on me…

I’d recommend listening to this to understand my view on NFTs:

You may as well be asking me to buy something as useful as an asshole on my elbow.

… or a painting on your wall.
Re: Re: Re:
A painting on my wall would be much more useful than buying an NFT. At least the painting is a tangible object and not some digital trading card that I don’t actually own the rights to.
Re: Re: Re: Re:
So you preserve your worthless tokens in tangible form. That’s cool, but meaningless.
Nah, i did look at them on the site at which they are hosted when you first announced. Are these larger files maybe?
Seperately, while i am not super into the concept personally, i have to laugh at the willfully ignorant derision some people feel compelled to provide.

I love this comment more than I can express.
