The idea of a public domain brand is the first thing out of the NFT discourse that’s really caught my attention. Reminds me of Anonymous. Buy a Guy Fawkes mask and you can play. Wonder what the IP status of the mask is. I’m guessing it’s old/pre-modern-copyright? 🤔

How do you manage fundamentally centralized assets like domain names and Twitter handles though? Or is it a pure paradigm concept and you must use ens domains etc?

Projects handle IP differently. The latest trend is using a Creative Commons license that grants anyone fair use of the IP. The idea is that by allowing anyone to build whatever they want with/on top of it, it will gain more cultural attention and value.

there was that whole adbusters "black spot" thing which was an anti/protest brand that anyone could use. Different people made restaurants and shoes and stuff (adbusters is more famous for creating occupy wallstreet, I've worked with former creative directors from there)

I think DC Comics owns the V mask, and might come after you even if you were to attempt to profit from a Guy Fawkes mask based on old illustrations or something.
