05/08/2022 Moonbirds Just Made All Their NFTs Public Domain

In a major change for the popular NFT project, Kevin Rose, founder ofMoonbirds,announced on Twitterthat both Moonbirds and Oddities will move to a CC0 license.

CC0, otherwise known asCreative Commons, simply means “no rights reserved” on intellectual property. It’s a form of copyright that allows creators to waive legal interest in their work and move it, as far as possible, into the public domain. This means that anyone can now use Moonbirds NFT art freely without any copyright restrictions.

“In this new future,” Rose said in the tweet, “true ownership is dictated by what is recorded on-chain, the way it should be, not by a record housed by a government or corporate entity.”

This landmark announcement comes just days after noted crypto artist XCOPY announced that they were going toretroactively apply CC0for all of their existing art. Of course, save for their collaborative pieces. Moonbirds and XCOPY aren’t alone in this regard, either. Other NFT creators like Deca have recently executedsuccessful CC0 project launches, with artists like Grant Yunlooking to follow suitsoon in the CC0 shift.

Goblintown, one of the biggest projects to hit the NFT scene in recent months, famously launched as CC0 as well. Thanks to this, OpenSea’s charts were dominated byirreverent Goblin-themed collectionsfor a time. Numerous figures within the space likeZeneca_33are referring to this growing movement as the “CC0 summer” — the emergence of a new prevailing CC0-centric meta within the NFT landscape.

Rose also announced the upcoming formation of the Moonbirds DAO, which will primarily oversee the general licensing of the Moonbirds and Oddities trademarks and prevent scams, hate speech, and violence within the community. Community members can expect to see changes to the project’s terms of service and website in the coming days. The Moonbirds team will also host a Q&A session on August 5 at Moonbirds Parliament Twitter Spaces.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier ArrĂ©s’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, ArrĂ©s, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, ArrĂ©s uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, ArrĂ©s elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. ArrĂ©s presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, ArrĂ©s freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier ArrĂ©s: https://javierarres.com/about.html
