Post by @khudyakova • Hey
I have an **important question:**
Can an artist whose work is minted on art selling platforms (Foundation and Objkt, in my case): https://foundation.app/kh

- I would never consider collecting a post, collecting the art. It just doesn't seem logical. I perceive collecting with a fee as a way to reward the author. Also, you collect the post, not the art, even if it contains the art. If someone puts a picture of your artwork in a magazine, it doesn't mean they own it.
- first, I'm not a lawyer.
second, Foundation is a curated marketplace -> not every artists is allowed to sell their NFTs there. so maybe Foundation (or any other platform) has some fine print which doesn't allow you to sell on other platforms (would be strange in web3 but still...).
but more importantly, let's say you have an NFT on Foundation and you post the same image, artwork,... on Lenster and make it collectible. it's technically not the same NFT as the one on Foundation anymore. Lenster will use another smart contract than the one on Foundation (either a Foundation one or a custom contract; I don't know if that's possible on Foundation). this also means that marketplaces like OpenSea don't recognize the NFT as part of the same collection as the Foundation one.
an obvious example: you go to IPFS and download the original file of a BAYC token, not any right-click-save nonsense but the file Yugalabs had uploaded to IPFS. you could mint a new NFT with that file and had created a duplicate of an existing BAYC image (I don't go into details about copyright and stuff here, it's just an example).
you could only sell that NFT to absolute newbies because everyone would recognize it as a copy or fraud. since it's on another smart contract, no marketplace would recognize it as part of the BAYC collection and therefore de-value it. the same happened if you offered an existing NFT on Lens again. in the end you harm yourself, imho.
you can make use of Lens and collectibles if you over unique artwork (and the Foundation rules don't say otherwise). but I'm not a lawyer
- i usually collect post by buying the NFT not rights or what so ever, those should belong to the creator or CC0
- I'm really happy to see that another artist has been pondering these questions too! I have put much thought into this, and my intention is that the work I mint and sell here is the original itself unless otherwise stated. File-size constraints sometimes pose a problem here for my animated work, but I think the devs will get it all figured out down the line.
Btw, I collect a lot of work on Tez and I knew I recognized you! Welcome to Lens 🌿✨

- Think of collecting as “bookmarking” a page online. No so much owning it.
