The Stardust NFT project’s artist Coco came under fire for allegedly stealing others’ artwork. Accordingly, the founder used professional photographs and public people’s photos to create her own collectibles.

Now, the NFT community is debating whether Coco’s image references are actually a theft. Meanwhile, the artist said every reference was copyright-free “to her knowledge”.

Did the Stardust NFT project founder steal others’ artworks?

In the same tweet, NFT Theft also included several examples of Coco’s references. Examples include entrepreneur Rashmi Bhanja and model Millie Hannah among others.

“Reference is a valuable tool for many artists. However surfing the net for photos and tracing over them without permission isn’t the same as a reference,” NFT Theft wrote. “It’s taking the work of others and calling it your own. These photographers & models should be paid for their work.”
