ランブル – オデッセイ、オデッセイ – デジタル財産権、知的財産、AI、そして単なる原子から覆われていない価値の刺激的な香り。
デジタルコグラセンティの集まりで – 金色の馬車ではなくバッジのストラップによって飾られた最愛のモダンなボールは、広く目のシーカー、目を積んで、「祈り、どのように可能ですか」と尋ねます。物理的な物質？」
NFTと暗号通貨のエーテルの相性に関するこの好奇心は、ロストフディナーテーブルでの農奴に関する紛争とよく似ており、ウォッカが少なく、ブロックチェーンが多いだけです。
私たちの視線をいわゆる「オープンメタバース」に変えましょう。広大なデジタル州は、czarsによってより少ないアルゴリズムによって支配されていません。 （参照：オープンメタバースとは何ですか？または、最寄りの孫に尋ねてください。）
魔法のトーキングボックスの遠くのチャンネルであるCNBCの最近のインタビューで、私は仮想の奇妙な力について説明しようと努力しました。読者、自分自身を鋼鉄にして、おそらくより深く潜りたいと思っています。
あなたがそうするなら、人類が何世紀にもわたって持っている微妙な錬金術は、手が把握できないものに価値を与えたことを考えてください。ここには真のドラマがあります：所有権、そしてそれが所有する人々にもたらす喜び（時には財政的、しばしば利己的な）。
人類がどのように考えを収益化することを学んだか（財産は退屈すぎるからです）
18世紀のイギリス（お茶はar慢に匹敵するだけ）に私と一緒に旅をし、それがトルストイにさえ嘆き悲しむように冗長になるという行為の通過を目撃します。
アンのこの高貴な法律は、オンラインで無料で本全体を読むという夢を阻止するすべての著作権通知の執行者であり、著者に「私はこれを作りました。 （出版社は元帳を静かに泣いた。）
Thus began the heady age wherein Jane Austen met Victor Hugo, not literally (imagine the gossip!), and Voltaire exchanged side-eye with Kant, as their works careened into society—no longer caged by those greedy hands at the printing presses. The wind of freedom wafted through Europe, carrying with it the scents of Enlightenment, Scientific Revolution, and a million unpaid royalties.
Ideas, philosophical treatises, and complaints about breakfast—once wafting into oblivion—became the fuel for progress and, delightfully, profit. As for the copyright, it charmed nations far and wide; the United States soon followed suit, apparently wishing to export not just corn, but also paperwork.
Even mighty China, for years a den of IP piracy so vibrant it could terrify Alexander the Great, saw the light—switching from copycat to copyright enforcer, unleashing a torrent of patents. It was as if a thousand Confucii suddenly discovered their homework could be worth billions.
China discovers the power of patents. The results: patent applications bloom like cherry blossoms, tracked meticulously by data wizards and mildly bemused economists.
The Mind’s Workshop: Where Property Is Made of Cloud, Not Clay
Now, to dispute the value of the intangible is to deny the worth of a mother’s advice or a bureaucrat’s signature—regrettable, but profitable all the same.
In the grand bazaar of modern capitalism, ownership extends its reach to trademarks, patents, and even to those ideas you furiously scribble at midnight only to forget by morning.
John Locke, philosopher and suspected sleep-hater, once declared we have the right to the fruits of our labor—a notion that found warm welcome in both the European Enlightenment and certain constitutional conventions involving powdered wigs. The leap from owning things your hands make to owning what your mind invents is an elegant one. Copyright extended this privilege from the workshop to the wild wilderness of the intellect.
Scientific breakthroughs do not appear soaked in ink and sealed with wax. They burst forth from the invisible ether (or, nowadays, Google Docs), fleeting yet immortal. It would be a dull and dreary world indeed if theoretical physicists, jazz pianists, and video game developers all had to trade potatoes for their efforts like common peasants.
Copyright made it so immortality could be measured in quarterly reports. Its spread was so contagious, whole economies caught the bug. In fact, my own company, Animoca Brands, is positively obsessed with this vision. If only someone would write a novel about it—preferably not in French!
The Magic Trick: Making Ghosts Richer Than Kings
The ledgers of business are now lined with intangibles: brand equity, goodwill, and the mysterious data you summoned last time you Googled “how to make sourdough.” These are hot commodities. Contemplate this:
-
The US Patent and Trademark Office revealed in 2019 that IP-intensive industries fuelled 41% of the nation’s economy—supporting 63 million jobs, give or take a few errant baristas.
-
The World Intellectual Property Organization pegged the value of the world’s intangibles at $62 trillion—enough to buy all the gold, and still have some left over for NFTs of potato chips.
And when certain wise men (Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk—never at a loss for opinion) suggest burning the entire IP legal structure to the ground, one wonders if it’s the vodka or the existential boredom talking.
Blockchain, meanwhile, tiptoes in from the digital steppes as a modern-day Tolstoyan hero: promising not only security, but also infuriatingly efficient decentralization, much to the horror of bureaucrats who prefer their ledgers illegible.
Where governments insist on paper and pomp, blockchain simply gets the job done—like a reliable butler, but more interested in hash rates than your tea preferences.
Rise of the Artificial Minds! (Who Gets Paid When Your Selfie Becomes Famous?)
The Age of Artificial Intelligence is not coming. It has set up camp, stolen your passwords, and eaten your last cookie. In this brave new world, the question of who owns what has become as murky as the Moscow River after festival season.
When internet denizens began generating AI images “in the style of Hayao Miyazaki,” creators and copyright lawyers alike needed to lie down in a dark room. Hollywood unions now wrestle with the problem of digital clones: Who gets the check—the actor, or their pixelated doppelganger?
As CBS News (harbinger of all things ominous) reported: Tech giants wish to gobble up all creative output to feed to their AI children, while actors’ unions demand payment, consent, and, if possible, eternal youth.
Sure, the laws will try to catch up, but if history is a guide, the bureaucracy will arrive breathless and underfunded to a party that’s already ended. Thankfully, blockchain offers a handy ledger for tracking usage, paying royalties, and keeping those robot upstarts a little bit honest.
Somewhere in the not-very-distant future, blockchain may even ensure creators are finally paid—the ultimate plot twist in the tale of creative endeavor.
Dueling for Digital Property Rights: The New Russian Literature?
When faced with the question, “How can something you can never stub your toe on be valuable?”, I simply flip the table: Would you call Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 worthless without a marble bust to sit beside it?
Whether it is a dusty book, a virtual sword wielded in an online game, or a meme about frogs, the key is not the thing itself but the fact of owning it. The right to say, “Behold, this absurd GIF is mine!” confers opportunities previously reserved for aristocrats and people who knew a guy at Sotheby’s.
Animoca Brands humbly carries the torch into this new frontier—undaunted by the prospect of herding digital cats—so that creators, remixers, and perhaps even neural nets may be rewarded for their adventures in the virtual wilderness.
Three centuries after the Statute of Anne, we stand at the gates of the open metaverse: a carnival of creativity, a bazaar where code is as mighty as the pen (and, some days, considerably more lucrative). Ownership, once reserved for manor and field, now embraces the unseeable, the untouchable, the gloriously virtual.

This literary frolic is for information only and not meant as legal or investment advice. If you buy an NFT of a Tolstoy mustache and lose your shirt—blame the metaverse, not the messenger.
