Topic
Creative (Common) NFTs
Description
The Remix NFT protocol is a new standard created to generate a value model based on the philosophy of the Creative Common licensing. The protocol incentivizes artists, collectors, and speculators to behave in a way that maximizes value for participants while promoting the Creative Commons values of free and open culture. This is accomplished through three modules:
- A perpetual auction system to ensure remix rights are always accessible and negate IP ‘squatting’ 22 A royalty chain to flow value to parent works
- On chain management of licenses & remix rights
The goal of the session is to present the Remix NFT protocol to the workshop participants and then brainstorm together about how to turn this protocol into an actual platform for CC / copyleft artists to engage with NFTs in a way that is consistent with their value.
Hopes & dreams
A new NFT platform will exist that generates value through abundance and creativity rather than artificial scarcity and hoarding. This new platform will:
- Enable authors and creators to monetize their digital works by leveraging useful digital scarcity, without relying upon the artificial scarcity established by copyright law.
- Ensure a more equitable redistribution of profits to all contributors of a work, including all those who contributed to the previous works on which a particular work has been based.
- Implement a dynamic split system that can allow primary & secondary sale funds to be redirected at the will of the network participants.

What will participants take away?
- Understand how existing NFT markets work and the artificial limitations & extractive dynamics that have been implemented, but don’t need to be there
- Better understanding of the extent to which NFTs are compatible, and could even promote the values of Creative Commons, by enabling digital artists to make a living, without having to impose specific constraints on their works.
- Better understanding of how the digital scarcity established by NFTs can be leveraged in order to promote digital abundance, encouraging authors and creators to maximize the dissemination of their digital works, as well as to facilitate the reproduction and the remix of these works.
