What would prevent a bad actor from getting verified, and then uploading material that they don't have consent/license for?

What would prevent anybody from claiming they were the "talent" in the material and giving consent?

Where would the "verified individuals" and their verification even come from?

The same thing we do to try to limit fraud in the banking system, use that.

We aren’t going for perfect fraud protection, because that’s impossible. But just raising the bar would be useful.

But that has nothing to do with crypto.

I agree that it is possible to use the law to take down infringing content. But cryptocurrency and NFTs do nothing to help that.

It does when you automate takedowns, because it is just a verified lookup table.

Automated takedowns have nothing to do with crypto or blockchains though.

You do not need an NFT for a company to have a database that does automated takedowns.

Most NFTs are just a link to the content, or a hash of the content. They’re not literally storing the data.

One could set up a system that requires verified linkage.

Hosting illegal content is already illegal. How would NFTs solve this?

If any uploaded videa were assigned a token, and one turned out to be illegal, any matches against the original token would trigger an auto-deletion.

This, the AI police of the future that automatically take down copyrighted information will just check against the chain.

The monetary barrier to attaining the NFT. I doubt her husband would have uploaded it if he had to pay $100-200 to do so. In general this is not a practical solution.
