The Future of Art and Copyright

NFT or non-fungible token is a type of digital asset, which is based on blockchain technology. It is used to prove ownership of digital art, music, video, or any digital object.

What is NFT : Why is ownership of a digital image or video so important? In the traditional sense, fungible assets are those that can be exchanged for each other. For example, a 1000 rupee note is equal to another 1000 rupee note. But non-fungible assets are single and unique. An NFT is a digital asset, which is identified by a unique code and is in no way equal to another NFT. You might be thinking, a digital image can be easily copied and pasted. So why is its ownership important? This is the greatness of NFT. NFT proves that you own the original version of a digital file. Much like the 'Mona Lisa' painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Although the image has been copied countless times, the original image is only one and it is preserved in the Louvre Museum. Similarly, NFTs confirm ownership of that original digital artwork.

Uses of NFTs : Art, Gaming, Music, and More

NFTs are not just for artists, they are revolutionizing various sectors

Art : This has opened up a new avenue for artists to sell their digital works directly. Artists can create and sell their digital images, videos, or animations as NFTs and receive royalties for each resale. This is a new and lucrative source of income for artists.

Gaming : In the gaming world, NFTs give players real ownership of in-game assets (such as weapons, characters, virtual clothing). Players can trade these assets among themselves and retain ownership of them outside of the game.

Music : Music artists can sell their songs, albums, or concert tickets as NFTs, which helps them reach their fans directly and cuts out the middleman.

Risks and Opportunities

The NFT market is very new and carries some risks

Market Volatility : The NFT market is very volatile. The value of an NFT can increase or decrease dramatically overnight.

Fraud : There is a risk of fraud and scams in the NFT market. Many people copy the work of others and sell it as NFTs.

Environmental Impact : Many NFT platforms use Proof of Work (PoW) blockchains, which consume a lot of electricity and are harmful to the environment.
