"We started the conversation and we're listening." The gall these bozos have is astounding. Imagine if someone was accused of murder and replied with "I'm proud that we can have an open, bipartisan debate on the value of human life."
@@treyebillups8602 Yeah lol, it doesnt work if your telling people what your doing. You show your listening by listening and then acting on the customer response.
The most absurd thing about this is how they've also used tracks from companies like Disney for their NFTs. Stealing from independent artists makes you just as much of a scumbag, but you could ultimately weasel your way out of it. But how did they expect to use material owned by billion-dollar corporations and not have their ass immediately sued? lmao
ESPECIALLY Disney. They cease and desist everything under the sun. I also saw they had some Pokemon soundtracks on their site before it went down, Nintendo is definitely not friendly towards people using their copyright either.
I saw a John Lennon song on there with about $2 million in bids before the site was down. These are people who do not understand any aspect of copyright law.
I just found my bands first and only EP uploaded as an NFT to that website. Turns out quite a few of my friends in our local scene have had their bands music uploaded as NFTs. Like, I guess I'm flattered that someone thought they could profit off of my band? This is bullshit
im pretty sure whoever was behind this got an army of bots to steal every piece of music from soundcloud, bandcamp, spotify, etc that had atleast a couple plays
Given the bad press ntfs tend to be it would still hurt your brand if people are associating your band with nfts against your will even if you're getting a few pennies here and there
Who saw all the art theft shit going on in the NFT "community" and said "Hm, you know who we should do that to? Multi million dollar record labels with high powered lawyers"
One of the big things that brough this whole scam to the public sphere was Stan Lee coming back from the dead on twitter to sell NFT. These people have zero issue robbing graves.
The part the really kills me is how they seem completely oblivious to the fact that a lot of artists, DIY artists in particular, are just completely not down for NFTs in the first place. Like Fenton, bro, the very underlying concept of your site to, "create NFTs of every song" is already a crock because artists are individual people with different thoughts and ideas and values and not all of them are going to want to be involved with NFTs even when they aren't this obvious of a gift.
Why am I not surprised... NFT bros are already stealing from visual artists, so why not steal from musicians? After the whole Etika NFT thing, I know that these scumbags don't have a shred of decency
@@gcwens I wish I was joking, but I literally remember seeing something about an NFT with Etika's face on it. You'd think capitalizing on the fame of a deceased influencer would be too far for even NFT peddlers, but they'll take any opportunity to make money, ethics and copyright be damned.
Etika NFT... I almost want to start making some of these dumb things myself, but purposefully be as disrespectful and awful as I can to make a point and make these stupid things look like crap. I'm not going to because that's ultimately awful and stupid... but I'd get a dark giggle out of it. Lets make an NFT of a clip of 9/11, see how that goes.
I don't get why people are mad at fantano for posting non-music content, this is literally a third channel, a side channel to a side channel if you will. It's not like reviews have gone somewhere
The funniest part is all the replies their Twitter has been making asking disgruntled artists to slide into their DMs to presumably try and upsell them. Like, no, maybe that conversation should be had in the open. I'm pretty sure all these artists' fans would be very receptive if it were.
NFT's already stole stole paintings from millions of artists and sold it without permission. NFT's creators are a bunch of privilege rich kids that don't understand copyright . They don't deserve your compassion when they get in these problems. Remember, these kids are trying to scam others into buying NFTs.
My NFT ad may as well have said “Click here to start trading NFTs and you could make 10,000/mo without any understanding of markets or computers” Gotta get them griftbucks
This was inevitable. People were making NFTs of tweets and social media posts without the permission of the person who posted it. While this isn’t the same as straight up profiting off of someone’s art, it’s still evidence that they don’t care whatsoever. They’ll just take things and sell them.
Some crypto exchange already did this. They minted cryptocurrencies names after celebrities like Elon Musk with zero permission or input from the individuals who name or likeness they were using. They tried to rationalize it as that whomever they were minting the crypto for could come and claim it at any time and, of course, the exchange would take their cut of the currency. They tried to rig it up so that either they could have all the crypto without involving the person or they would just take a healthy cut if the person objected and took ownership.
Sounds like most other NFT websites tbh. NFT’s don’t have to be a scam, but as they exist right now most are. Hope it all crashes so something actually useful might possibly take its place
Am I the only one that believes that if people keep talking about NFTs this whole stuff will never end. It's an infinite loop. NFT stuff happenes = everybody talks about it = NFTs get more popular = NFT stuff happenes... and on and on. For the sake of trying to make the NFT drama meta stop I'm going to dislike this Video. Sorry mate

This is every corporation's standard PR line: "We're holding ourselves accountable/listening/having a conversation"
borderline Saw style
That's a Garth Brooks NFT.

Stealing from independent artists is scumbag behavior.
Stealing from Disney and UMG is dumbass behavior.

You mean like the time that they bought a DUNE script for 300k thinking they bought the RIGHTS of the movie? Yeah fun times.

I’m sorry this happened to you. This just proves that NFTs are just art theft waiting to happen. I’ll for sure check out your band.

"High powered lawyer" is a very funny expression to me, I'm stealing that
@@yetanotherrandomyoutubecha4382 I'm imagining lawyers in power armor.
when a statement starts with “clearly have struck a nerve” it can only go downhill from there
Imagine buying an NFT of a song when Pirate Bay exists.
Imagine buying an NFT of a song when physical copies exist.
The whole point is that they think they can sell it for much more in the future
You're not buying "nothing", you're buying a number in a database, the most revolutionary and foward looking thing man has ever dared to dream.
Ooo but can I pay $1000 for a DLC red hat on my database number?
“We’re listening” and turning off your website is Travis Scott levels of bs
They’re responding like their being cancelled by PC stuff but it’s actually just illegal lol
Lmao “we may have struck a nerve,” nah man you actually violated the law 😂
@@michaelauberry1564 “We may have struck a nerve with the District Attorney”
The fact they had the nerve to put sophies discography up for sale.... tasteless
Putting up dead artist's stuff is not new in the NFT sphere, but it's still pretty upsetting seeing it happen to someone like her
Completely disrespectful to her legacy and probably something she wouldn’t want happening if she were alive now.

This happened to my buddy nate
My friend Eric's music is on there
Ok
Bob's music is on there. I don't know anyone called Bob but I'm sure there will be some on there.
You have no idea how furious I was to see all my projects up on this site... blows my mind how shitty these NFT bros can be.

Melon hating on NFTs brings me joy.
Our other singers albums and artwork was stolen and sold as NFTs on here. Such a terrible site.
These are the same people who thought buying a book was the same as buying IP rights after all
They had almost every single song on Spotify on their website, apparently…
imagine purchasing an NFT off that site and thinking you own that music. LOL
This trend has just started rising, and it's already setting its mark in history.
... as being the worst thing in history.
The funniest part is all the replies their Twitter has been making asking disgruntled artists to slide into their DMs to presumably try and upsell them.

Bring back the STINKPIECE series.
I’m so sick of this NFT shit dude
The thought of them stealing my favorite little metal band’s music pisses me off.
It was quite a surprise yesterday to see my face and my songs as NFTs on this lame ass site lmao
We’re listening… to summons.
I got an NFT ad before this video lol
I heard babyhikaris friend nates Music is on there

It's crazy how some NFT people seem to be so lost in the sauce that they see no problem with selling someone else's property
These guys took my entire discography. It’s disgusting.
My NFT ad may as well have said “Click here to start trading NFTs and you could make 10,000/mo without any understanding of markets or computers”
Gotta get them griftbucks
Do you think Hitpiece will mint this video as an NFT?
This is why I'm not gonna put my music on any platform for the time being. I'm scared this will happen to me
Every NFT site is the worst NFT site.
the best thing about all this negative NFT coverage is that GPU prices should normalise
Nope, the miners dont care, if anything they are just going to increase their pruduction cause of how much nfts and cryptos are being talked about
Dude people are so mad they found the hit piece guy’s address man.
I legit got an ad for nfts before this video wtf
NFT Bros need to just stop. Stop breathing that is.
Everything about crypto is useless and dumb...
we're ruining the fucking earth for this??????
I’m gonna need the rights and access of the masters and stems.
The people at hitpiece clearly don’t understand the concept of a master

yo i dont think the twitch link in your bio works, i clicked it and it led me to a error page just sayin
The 9 dislikes are from the employees at the company
generous of you to think they have that many employees
God damn that is not even close to legal
Found out about this through Nmesh’s posts about it, what a sick joke.
Same smh
But.... i can already listen to the music....
If you wanna buy music, buy CDs. Buy vinyl. Anything other than an NFT is probably cheaper and better and supports the artist better.
Damn, I literally found their twitter last night and I was wondering when a youtuber would talk about it.
Is the Most Mysterious Song an NFT??
this is what we call a rug pull
This video goes hard. Feel free to screen record.
How does a Music NFT even work?
Why can’t I call this company b-et-a? Don’t censor me melon
Hopefully they get sued for every cent
iTunes at least gives you a license. LOL
Pretty clear that this was dome to generate outrage and free publicity.
Anthony, I will pay you $5 for the NFT of your "longest sheesh" video.

I don't really like nor do I understand what NFTs are.
Watch Folding Idea’s video on NFTs. It’s long, but it’s to date the most in depth video on why they absolutely suck.
I loathe DMCA…but fuck it. Let the labels go apeshit.
Who buys nfts!? Like seriously someone is
Mostly Rich people trading back and forth. There’s a couple good articles on how fucked up celeb culture being behind this is
Sounds like most other NFT websites tbh. NFT’s don’t have to be a scam, but as they exist right now most are. Hope it all crashes so something actually useful might possibly take its place
