Looking Outwards Blog 11 – Societal Impacts of Digital Art

The article I read this week discussed the copyrighting of NFTs. What I found interseting about this article’s conclusion was that it directed most of the issues towards the lack of secruity systems. The author states in the end of the article that the digital platforms where NFTs are passed around are not advanced enough to ensure that a peice of work is is properly insured. However, there was little to no discussion over the ethical and moral aspect of the impacts of copyrighting in the digtial world. I think that there is a sense of pushing around the responsiblity from the people who are taking artwork to the people creating systems to prevent the copyrighting of artwork. This issue not only applies in this situation, but many other societal issues as well. Instead of looking at solutions to stop copyrighting, the article discusses possible solutions for copyrighting to not make it past their system rather than stopping it from ever happening.
