Pudgy Penguins began its journey in the NFT world with a frowning face, having the project swim in the muddy water of controversies. However, it was a turn of fate when its new owner and loyal community member, Luca Schnetzler, acquired it for 750 ETH and turned things around, creating a strong comeback story for the brand. Recently, the project turned a lot of heads yet again when one of it’s rarest NFTs was sold for a mind-blowing 400 ETH (roughly $640K of September 2022).

Memes are fundamental components of Internet culture, and at this point, they are so embedded in human society that they’re now inseparably part of who we are. The first Internet memes were popularized by early social networking sites and forums in the early 2000s. Pepe the Frog, an anthropomorphic frog that throws a  serious dead punch, is one of the most significant memes of the early dot-com era that has evolved over time.

But in the middle of the craze, one of the most important topics emerged: COPYRIGHT LAW. UPDATE: Included Galaxy Digital’s criticisms on the current status quo of IP license…

People who use the web interact with the Internet Protocol (IP) address, a unique number series that allows web providers to distribute content across the globe. Think of it as the medium for computers to communicate, enabling data transfer to various locations. However, its complexity is not suitable for all users. Therefore, computer scientists developed an easier way to browse online through the Domain Name System (DNS). A DNS allows users to visit websites using names instead of long numerical labels. Although DNS tech has been here for decades, the web3 space for all its innovations, still continues to use…
