The implication of publishing and promoting books 📚 with have been discussed extensively, however, of some of the books that are associated with NFTs have already expired. This triggers a very interesting question: How can NFTs preserve copyrights and royalties for books with expired copyrights?🤔
Copyright laws are complex and vary widely throughout the world, but no matter how long the copyrights are protected, given enough time, works will end up free in the public domain. However, there often remains a disconnected community that intrinsically values the work.
Currently, publishing houses have no incentives to collaborate with the estate of copyright holders that are about to enter public domain because the work will soon be free, a certificate of authenticity represented by a tradable might provide an incentive for such collaborations. The NFTs will carry the royalty further into the digital world even the the copyright expires and the work goes into the public domain and royalties can be generated through sales in the NFT marketplace.💵
Beloved characters and the worlds they inhabit can be a solid foundation for not only NFTs that can extend copyrights but also extended creativity across mediums.🫶🏻
