NFT & Licenses

Are photos created with Capture NFTs?

Photos created with Capture are not NFTs but digital assets that have their ownership and context preserved. Upon request, an extra NFT layer can be added into Captures through tokenization processes. When this happens, the asset itself on the outside will remain unchanged, however, additional information containing NFT-related data will be injected into the asset.

How do I collect NFTs with Capture?

Users are now allowed to purchase photo NFTs on the Explorer page, which can be accessed via Capture Cam or a web browser.

You can also access the asset profile page of the photo, with the link obtained and shared through Capture Cam or Capture Dashboard. Click on the "Collect" button and complete the collection process.

There are also marketplaces created via the Capture API, such as the Superworld NFT marketplace, where you can also collect Capture NFTs.

What license of a digital photo would apply in the Capture system?

The license in the Capture system depends on the user's selection:

If the user selects a license under Creative Commons License: The asset will be assigned the chosen Creative Commons license. This license will be reflected in the asset’s metadata. If the user inputs a specific license: The asset will be assigned the custom license entered by the user. The license name and document URL provided by the user will be reflected in the asset’s metadata. If the user does not specify a license: The asset will default to “Private” in Capture Dashboard and “N/A” in Capture Cam , meaning it is not licensed for public use and restricts any form of modification, distribution, or commercial use without explicit permission from the content owner. This setting is customizable in the enterprise solution.

What are the commercial and asset copyrights?

Depending on the selection of the license, Capture NFT may have different rights associated to it. The license of the NFT can be found on the Asset Profile.

Should I mint NFT or commit with "license-to" action?

The decision to mint an NFT versus writing a record with license-to action is largely dependent on the desired revenue-sharing capabilities, whether or not the license can be transferred.

When it comes to revenue sharing, minting an NFT is the preferred option. NFTs serve as unique digital assets that enable ownership transfer and accompanying revenue rights. The latest owner information can be easily tracked by reading the NFT records.

If an NFT is minted, the reader of the commit records can tell from the asset history that they should track the NFT for the latest owner.

On the other hand, records with license-to action is more suitable for one-time licensing to a specific party without any revenue sharing involved. These records indicate that a license has been granted for a particular asset, but do not provide a mechanism for revenue sharing and cannot be transferred. When reading the license-to records, one can see that it is a one-time license, and the wallet address shown in the actionResult represents the licensed party.

In conclusion, if revenue sharing is a top priority, then minting an NFT is the recommended approach. However, if the license is not transferred with no revenue-sharing involved, writing a license-to record would be enough to track the asset history.
