So how does selling an image work? You're able to make a copy of it on the blockchain, but only the original holder is able to?
Suppose the photographer A puts up for sale a new image of the Alpine mountains and buyer B has long been looking for this kind of picture. Buyer B expresses the desire to buy this content and explains that they will use it to realize the dream, namely print it on T-shirts with edition of 500 copies and that’s all. Photographer A agrees and, based on the terms of use, sets the appropriate price. Then, a contract is created where all these conditions are prescribed and after a successful signing, a copy of the image is given to the buyer to accomplish the goal.
As in the example in BitImage, when buying digital content, a smart contract will be formed between the author and the buyer where the following conditions
in the contract code will be prescribed:
• text information describing the remaining details of the transaction;
• the name of the buyer (if indicated in the personal account);
• the author’s name (if indicated in the personal account);
• wallets addresses of the author and the buyer;
• a link to the model release (if necessary);
• link to the purchased content;
• link to the Licensing Terms;
• author ID in BitImage;
• buyer ID in BitImage;
• the terms of purchase;
• the date of purchase;
• price.
In short this is how it designed to work. No images will be stored in blockchain, only license and link which will bind them together.
If you have more questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely yours,
