Someone paid 1,600 ETH for an artwork called "Right-click and Save As guy."
Then its artist made the art free to use.
That contradiction is the story.
XCOPY was making crypto art before the 2021 rush.
Anonymous.
London-based.
Glitching loops about death, dystopia and indifference.
"Right-click and Save As guy" was released on SuperRare in December 2018.
A 1/1.
Its title pointed straight at the objection that would follow NFTs everywhere:
"Why buy it? I can save the image."
In December 2021, Cozomo de' Medici bought the token for 1,600 ETH.
The image was still downloadable.
The ownership record wasn't the same thing as the file.
Then XCOPY pushed that distinction further.
In 2022, the artist announced a move to CC0.
The official website now makes it plain:
The works are free to use, remix and build upon, with exceptions for derivative and collaborative works that may carry other rights.
No token required to participate in that visual culture.
No exclusive copyright just because you bought the NFT.
That's what makes this more interesting than an expensive GIF.
The artist didn't make the image harder to copy.
The artist gave people permission to do more with it.
The token could remain scarce.
The imagery could spread.
Those are different things.
If anyone can use the art, what are collectors really paying for: exclusivity, provenance, or a place in its history?

Shootout to @introvoid, one of my many fav artists here. First of all incredible digital paintings, very underrated.
Second really enjoying the honest takes on the scene and their journey as an artists on their account lately.
You can feel the struggle, the desperation, the grit. Very real for many artists here. It was never easy and got a lot tougher lately.
I detected myself not interacting even though enjoying, so that’s why I send my love via this post.
Keep going! You are a gem.

Meet Ludovica Rosi, founder of @arno_labs.
@ludovica__rosi started out in the art world, working with artists, galleries and cultural institutions. She kept running into the same problem: music had streaming and writers had publishing platforms, but visual artists still depended on geography, connections and intermediaries to get discovered and paid.
So she asked a simple question: what if anyone, anywhere, could create, discover, collect and support art without asking permission?
That question became ARNO, a platform where artists, collectors and curators build their identities, discover talent and earn directly from their work.
With $0 spent on marketing, ARNO has grown to:
- 300K+ users, including 70K+ artists
- 3M+ editions created and shared
- 70+ countries
- 30+ universities reached
ARNO has also collaborated with consumer electronics company, LG and connected with institutions including Parsons, Pratt, UAL and Triennale Milano.
Why Base?
"An artist in Argentina should be able to sell their work to a collector in Japan as easily as someone across the street. Base gives us the speed, low costs, and onchain ownership to make that possible at scale. We're building for creatives who don't need to understand blockchain, but should benefit from everything it enables."
ARNO’s next goal: bring millions of creatives onchain.
@arno_labs is built on @base.
Thank you @juergkobel and @lewiejpd for collecting This Is Not Generative Art #6 as well as another piece from the series 🤟🙏. tinyurl.com/This-Is-Not-Gene…
