Depends on the "read only" boolean on HE.
The IPFS data point on the PSYCARD items are infact set to "read only" or can only be set once.. meaning the existing cards will have IPFS links to the original images.. But a developer could blacklist these images and replace them dynamically if needed.
After reading the post I looked into this. I need to do further investigation to the licensing type purchased and what the clause of use looks like.
As a 3rd party contractor this type of stuff spooks me a bit, but regardless on if they have rights to image usage or not, I've got some functions that could be used in the code to make the stuff compliant (atleast on any project I've access to / am working on as as contractor for RR)
My suggestion would be for you guys to hire an IP lawyer and for them to go through the licenses. That is the only really sound way for this, or to just cut those entirely and commission your own assets.
Just a code mercenary here, contracted to build stuff. Royal Reptile would have to look into this IP lawyer stuff for themselves. The stuff being built for them will use replacement free-use or non-licensed images if it turns out to be a licensing infraction, is about all I can do on my end at this this time.
(I was told the images were commissioned art assets, only just today have I been shown that some of the images may be screenshots from pre-existing assets that may have licensing clauses)
Cheers!
They will now be changed on their website/game but they can't be changed on the blockchain and therefore for anyone else that consumes or will consume that metadata, unless they become aware of the issue and add additional logic to use the new images.*
