OpenSea has been involved in many issues concerning plagiarized content. In early 2022, the platform detected that some users were using its free minting tools, inventing fake works, and thus ruining the work of honest creators. To deal with the problem, Opens Sea stopped producing the minting tools for a while. It finally lifted this ban because of the users’ criticism.
The marketplace is not yet able to devise a long-term solution, but it does, however, require users to report plagiarized collections and stolen content. These issues are mainly due to the platform’s popularity. It is gaining more users each year, so more people may be tempted to use its features.
