Well, to be honest given the technical side of things that I generally focus on for a living.. I think it would actually be possible to change the images on the NFTS.. One sec!
( this image is from the psyberxmarket account looking at PSYCARD on tribaldex, I do not own this account and only have access to it due to needing access to issue cards and modify the NFT data points to make them ready for the Decks game, once I'm done that contract I'll relinquish all access to this stuff )
Ok.. so the IPFS image hashes are infact read only / write once into the chain. However it would be possible to effectively make a list of IPFS hashes that aren't kosher and have a function inject an image that isn't against a license or whatever..
I need to look into all this a bit more. As far as I know depending on what license was purchased on the assets, it may be legal to utilize pictures of said assets in other works. However I am no legal expert and will 100% be looking into if any assets were purchased on a weaker license that does not allow their likeness to be used in other products.
Worse comes to worse and the images are in conflict with their licensing stipulations, they'll be added to a list that in turn replaces them with images that aren't limited legally by their licensing (or lack thereof).
The post certainly raised my eyebrows and alerted me that I have to look a bit deeper into the source of the images I was provided to use in the app I've been contracted to make for Royal Reptile. Appreciate the heads up, I will certainly be digging deeper into making sure that what I've been developing for them isn't going to get me sued over copyright shit.
Cheers.
Good stuff, keep it up!
If those IPFS hashes can indeed be blacklisted, then every current and future app consuming this metadata will need to add some "customizations" to their logic to point to the new images, correct?
The function used to parse on chain data can be modified with the ability to replace or substitute data that is determined by some logic before the asset data is returned to both server side or client side data.
The possibility is there, any future applications utilizing either the on chain or API data would have to do a sanity check to see if substitution would be needed. Hopefully the licensing scare turns out to not be an issue and nothing needs replaced, but if it does, it can be done.
Kind of a pain in the ass, but completely possible to filter and replace offending data if that is what is required. I've yet to look into the assets licenses and inquire which license Royal Reptile bought the assets under to know for sure if the images are kosher to use. :/
Cheers.
I think this means yes.
.
Ok, good luck
Yep, to sum it up, it's totally possible to make things compliant in code for current and future Psyber NFT using applications.
The item issuance / crate opening could also be modified to issue new image IPFS hashes as well. Any Psyber application current or future with privilege to be able to issue NFT items would need to implement this though.
agreed.
I don't even know if they store the IPFS hashes on chain even.
Most games don't store any image info on chain
Ok. You could even leave things as is and just display different images in your website/game.
My point was about other people using them (marketplaces, other apps, etc). They would need to be aware of these caveats to use the "legal" images.
Yep, there are solutions that can be rolled out for sure. Thanks again for the heads up!
valid point.
