Yuga Labs, the parent company of the well-knownNFT blue-chip project BAYC, announced in February that it had officially acquired Proof, the publisher of another well-known blue-chip project " Moonbirds ".
Earlier today (30), Moonbirds officially announced on X without warning that it would create a Moonbirds universe and decided to take back the commercial rights of Moonbirds.
In 2022, Moonbirds' parent company Proof announced that it would convert the Moonbirds and Moonbirds Oddities series NFTs to CCO licenses. This means that the creators do not retain any rights, and anyone can use Moonbirds or Oddities to create and sell derivative projects, merchandise, and clothing.
The unauthorized change of copyright to CCO had previously caused dissatisfaction among the copyright holders
At that time, Moonbirds officially changed the copyright of the project to Creative Commons Zero (CCO), which actually annoyed Moonbirds holders because it might make all the rights that belonged to the holders disappear, including the rights of online and offline entities. However, some people believe that CC0 is the first step to sweep away the old centralized copyright system and push the concept of ownership towards decentralization.
Three months after Yuga Labs bought Proof, it took back the copyright again. It seems that its CCO strategy did not bring the expected benefits...
Announcing the creation of the Moonbirds Universe
In addition, according to Moonbirds’ tweet, the next step will be to build the Moonbirds universe, claiming that it will introduce new art styles and 3D virtual images designed for animation, Yuga Labs’ NFT project Otherside, and other applications. It also announced that the Moonbirds universe is not limited to the virtual world, and physical activities and products are also in its plans.
The official stated that if users want to participate, they must first hold a Moonbirds NFT.
