Cent CEO and cofounder Cameron Hejazi highlighted three main problems: people selling unauthorised copies of other NFTs, people making NFTs of content which does not belong to them, and people selling sets of NFTs which resemble a security.

He said the issues were "rampant".

The NFT marketplace where @jack sold the first tweet for $2.9M is shutting down because people keep selling copies of other NFTs, making NFTs of content which does not belong to them, or selling sets of NFTs which resemble a security.

Why not let the community curate the marketplace and reward them with tokens for their work, operate like a DAO, give them ownership and control. When you operate with a web2 model in a web3 space, you will obviously fail!https://t.co/KmaLCqbYkQ

The sooner the shitty end of NFTs collapses the better for the industry and we can move forward and build something better. Shame VCs are fuelling this trend for their own short term gain.

"The company that last year helped Jack Dorsey auction an NFT of his first tweet for $2.9 million, is temporarily halting most transactions to address “rampant” sales of fake and plagiarized tokens."
So much for NFTs being counterfeit-proof. ?https://t.co/xyuUsFy0Mg
Users were selling NFTs based on images they did not own the rights to and even selling copies of other NFTs, as well as selling NFTs that had been made to resemble other tradable assets. https://t.co/vDCRqTHLwF

Going for a curated model would cost OpenSea a big slice of the NFT crowd that longs for a Wild West ecosystem, but staying on the current light-touch course would bring about an endless string of PR crises. https://t.co/YoC1OMpPip
