Remember when a group of crypto bros bought a copy of 'Jodorowsky's Dune' for $3 million (around 100x more than it was worth) thinking they could turn it into NFTs and an animated series because they didn't understand what copyright is?

This was literally a joke in Cobra Kai. Johnny: And I want AC/DC blasting out in the ad! Student: Do you have the rights to the song? Johnny: Yeah I got the tape in my car. 👍

Interesting that the head of Microsoft AI doesn't understand what copyright is either. Tech bros as a group seem singularly stuck in the "mine!" stage of child development.

I might have missed it in the article, but they also commissioned a (very terrible) script for a Dune ripoff

I wish the publisher would reissue it (in an affordable version!) because the examples I have seen are wonderful.

The joy I got from having to explain this to my Dad was like a Christmas gift, cause I got to hear him say, over and over, “But that’s Stupid”, only for it to get worse when I kept explaining.

I'm glad the physical book still exists, as it's an already rare work of art about more art, and a glimpse of what was imagined for the first film of the unfilmable Dune

Have they ever owned a copy of a book in their lives? You know what, scratch that. Stupid question. How about a DVD? I know it must have been long, long ago, but surely they must have realized that that didn’t mean they *owned* the IP.

they thought that the whole blockchain thing superseded any real copyright, you can bet on that these people think you could drive a crushed lambo off the lot if you waved an NFT proof of ownership "i OWN this and in a way that can't be abridged by the law," etc. etc., it's what gets them hard
