RE: An Abstract Declaration and an AI Generated NFT

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Since I make no pretense about being the creative force behind the images, I like to leave the watermark.

I occasionally remove the mark when I crop or modify the image.

The watermark might lead people back to my profile. I see that as a plus.

Come to think of it. I almost always drop links to the source of images that I use.

BTW: The thing I find amusing is when people copy images from istockphoto and leave the watermark. Such people advertise to the world that they are simply copy-and-pasting images. The iStock contract allows people to use watermarked images in the design phase. They want you to purchase the rights on publishing.

!LOL

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't think that is a NightCafe watermark since the other images you've posted don't seem to have that watermark. What I think happened is that the AI model "hallucinated" that watermark.

Here's a discussion about that:

The DALLE-2 images had a very clear watermark.

I would not be surprised to find that NightCafe was inserting identifying marks in their works.

The person you cited seems to have a poor understanding of copyright and fair use. He said:

A lot of AI generated images retain the watermark [...] If you sell something with that image with no agreement from the rights holder it is not fair use.

A watermark is simply a device for tracking the source of things. It has little to do with copyright. Fair use refers to the use of small sections of a larger work. The quote I showed is fair use.

To resell a work, one needs to have an agreement with the creator.
