The main thing that sets Nostr apart from other platforms is how it is nearly impossible to delete a note.

What implications will this have on copyrighted material? What if something is posted that someone else has copyrighted, but the material cannot be taken down? More significantly, what if this person gets zaps for material that is not intellectually theirs?

Although there could be (read: will be) complications, I believe this would require our legal systems to adapt. Example: if a copyrighted audio is posted on Nostr and earns zaps, a court could order those sats to be redirected to the original owner of the material in perpetuity. Then again, this is only possible with lightening wallets which, to my knowledge, don’t have cold storage options and are run by centralized authorities by their very nature.

Of course, there is always the concept of “clips” currently being pioneered by Fountain, but this is fundamentally different from posting a whole audio on Nostr and claiming it as your own, as opposed to a “remix” of sorts.
