During the NFT craze going on all over the world, we’ve seen artworks sold for thousands of dollars. In November of last year, a platform called Spice DAO, created by Dune-loving crypto money investors, bought the ‘gospel’ of Dune’s movie, which was previously planned but never reached the theaters, for millions of euros.
Prepared by Alejandro Jodorowsky and described as the ‘director’s bible’, this book was sold as NFT for 2.66 million euros. The Spice DAO group, which bought the book, was the subject of ridicule in the entire cryptocurrency community with a post it made the other day. After Spice DAO bought the NFT of the book, it was acting as if it had bought all the rights to the book.
We bought the NFT of the book, let’s animate it and sell it:
In the post made by Spice DAO, “We won the auction with 2.66 million euros. Our task now is: 1- To make the book available to everyone. 2- Producing an original animated series inspired by the book and selling it to a publishing platform. 3- Supporting derivative projects from the community. ” were included.
The book that Spice DAO bought included all the plans for the movie, from Jodorowsky’s entire screenplay for Dune, to the storyboard, from the costumes to the materials for the scenes. In fact, the book itself was prepared to introduce the movie to Hollywood producers and to make this movie a reality.
The fact that Spice DAO only bought the NFT copy of the book and shared it as if they had all the rights to the book caused funny reactions on social media. Here are some great reactions to Spice DAO’s post:
“It’s impressive how much dog brain crypto can give someone. It’s like the opposite of spice.”
“Cryptobillers – A copy of the book – Is this my intellectual property?”
“They’ve gone from stealing digital art to stealing tradable art.”
“You bought a collectible for 100 times what you estimated. Do you think you can start making Spider-Man movies once you get the Spider-Man comic?
“I guess that’s a natural consequence of NFT culture. You bought a limited edition copy of something and now you think you ‘own’ it.”
“Thanks for helping dispel the myth that those with a lot of money make money with talent and intelligence.”
On the other hand, it should be noted that this book, which was purchased as NFT for 2.66 million euros, has been on the air since 2011, completely free of charge. Let’s send our best wishes to our friends.
