In light of the latest Taproot fiasco I was wondering what the implications of storing copyrighted content on-chain would be.
I know BTC can't handle huge files like say a 14GB series from HBO max, but let's say there was a version of Bitcoin with massive blocks and low transaction fees. We've already seen this happen with Ethereum NFTs on a smaller scale, much of that was sorted on the trading sites like Opensea, delisting collections that had obscene or copyrighted content.
But that only worked because minting an NFT on Ethereum was expensive, but lets say this hypothetical Bitcoin chain used a very simple scripting language, so simple in fact that you wouldn't need tons of data to store things. And you could easily create dozens of NFTs for less than a dollar.
I've gone through juungle before, back when it was still relevant, remarkably I never found an objectionable NFT, though tbh I wasn't Looking very hard.
On BCH you wouldn't be able to store the content itself (currently) but let's say our hypothetical Bitcoin version had something like 4GB blocks, that seems like enough space to store something objectionable.
So, my question; how do we navigate this brave new world of truly on-chain NFTs.
