Last night, Fedor Linnik’s darkest fears came true. His NFT collection of 8,888 different Goblin Asses was used to make this one.

To their surprise, Linnik and his buddies discovered stolen goblin butt drawings on OpenSea while they were creating Goblinass.town. The event was covered by Web3 Is Going Great.

How do you explain hobgoblins? The NFTs were impacted by Goblintown. The hidden Goblintown designers, disguised as goblins, created one of the most gorgeous Twitter Spaces ever: Goblintown. Goblintown

Going against all odds, the current starting price of $10,000 for Goblintown is rather reasonable. Adorable, funny, and cheeky, it pokes fun at the too serious NFT scene (the goblins call Gary Vee “Gary Pee”). FatGremlin, Gremlinville, OrcVillage, and Ogretown are all ripoffs of Goblin Pride.

In Linnik, a 26-year-old cryptocurrency enthusiast and NFTs enthusiast, sarcasm was an attraction. With two friends, Vitaly Terletsky drew the butts.

There is a lot of clout and volume to Goblintown’s free mint derivative products thanks to Linnik’s efforts. “Stupidity! In the wee hours of the morning, he drew the whole collection.” As a result, there are now Goblin Asses.

It was part of the publication process to set up a website and Twitter accounts to promote the collection. Linnik said to me, “We gave ourselves the task of developing a collection in three days.”

They just found out last night that their artwork had been posted online. If Linnick is correct, there are two possibilities as to how the con artist managed to pull it off. Their semi-public website had images and data that were discovered. One possible source for the information is the publicly accessible OpenSea testing site. Many people use the testing site to make sure that their collections are displayed in the best possible way before they are introduced in the market.

When it comes to their collections, most people only post a fraction of what they own online. The Goblin Ass collection was made public because of his hurry. “I don’t think thieves care about a mint collection with 170 Twitter followers,” Linnik said in a BuzzFeed interview.

Even though the majority of art theft on OpenSea is NFT-based, artists still worry about it. To mint stolen material from DeviantArt, fraudsters turned to OpenSea’s “lazyminting” technology. 80% of the NFTs that had to be withdrawn owing to infractions like copyright infringement were caused by the lazyminting tool, hence OpenSea will ban its usage in January 2022.

OpenSea used image recognition and human moderators to prevent NFT collections from being duplicated. Plagiarism is grounds for immediate expulsion from OpenSea. “To remedy this issue, we’ve recently started using photo recognition technology. There is nothing on OpenSea that should be removed, but a DMCA request gives users the option to do so.”

As a result of the fraudster having to pay upfront costs, Linnik recommended that OpenSea terminate the campaign. There was a content complaint, but no DCMA request since the Goblin Asses team didn’t own the designs. Until now, they haven’t received their findings.

The goblin ases are impenetrable. In the REAL collection, there is a “certificate of ass-enticity” holographic tag on each JPG that the team has officially designed.
