Full story
Okay, that last article was a doozy.
Let’s keep this one quick, fun, and silly (stupid, if you will).
Lowe’s, the American home improvement giant, has released a garden flag featuring two characters from the Mfers NFT series.
NFT related merchandise is not new…
But merchandise from an NFT series made to honor crypto swords hits the shelves of a national retailer Certainly.
And it came as a total surprise!
Mfers uses a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) copyright license, which means anyone can use the images for commercial gain, without permission or purchase of an NFT.
So Stephen Thompson and his brother-in-law Matthew Varnell, owners of Total Marketing Web3 and creators of the Mfers garden flags, were able to get them onto the shelves at Lowes without permission and completely legally.
(The idea behind CC0 NFTs is: if someone can monetize the images, they will – increase the visibility/value of the series in the process).
Helluva concept!
