In a statement shared with PEDESTRIAN.TV, a spokesperson for OpenSea said: “It is against our policy to sell NFTs that violate the publicity rights of others.
“I think that action is more likely to come from a company who can afford the time and cost of a lawsuit than from an individual, though.” “The regulations will come - because they’re clearly not self-regulating effectively - and those who have scammed people out of thousands of dollars will be made an example of. “They argue that they’re in favour of artists, yet repeatedly defend those caught blatantly stealing, minting and selling art,” she explained.

Naturally, I was not asked for permission.
In extremely predictable news I’ve just been informed that somebody has taken an image of me, that *I* own, added a trademarked porn logo to it, and “minted” it to sell for profit as an NFT.
