Dancer NO:ZE launched 'Dance With NO:ZE' NFT project to copyright choreography.
On July 1st, NO:ZE launched a new NFT project titled 'Dance With NO:ZE'. The project uses videos of NO:ZE which will be each encrypted in the blockchain. In a video revealed with the project's launch, NO:ZE explained, "Many choreographers have been working in an unstable environment. I hope this project could initiate the movement for choreography to be copyright protected."
'Dance With NO:ZE' is currently preparing various plans to make choreography eligible for copyright protection.
Not sure if copyrighting dance moves is a good move... Even music gets inspiration from other places, art should be free to recreate and experiment with (within reason and not blatant copying). I can totally see Korean choreographers suing each other over particular moves that look similar. ESPECIALLY how do you copyright dance moves when so much of kpop and korean rnb/hip hop is inspired by OTHER CULTURES. Like are you going to copyright moves that were inspired from other choreographers?
