As the video of his daughter's murder spread on social media, the story of a father made with NFT to erase the video was delivered. 



According to the Washington Post on the 22nd local time, reporter Allison Parker (24 years old at the time) from WDBJ, a Virginia local broadcaster affiliated with CBS, was interviewing outdoors in August 2015 when former co-worker Vester Lee Flanagan (41 years old at the time) He was shot and killed.



The scene where reporter Allison was assassinated was televised as it was.

Since then, the video has gone viral on social media and has garnered millions of views. 




Six years have passed, but the video has not been deleted until recently and has been steadily uploaded to social media.

In response, Allison's father, Andy Parker, requested that the video in question be deleted on YouTube and Facebook.   



At Andy's request, social media companies said they had deleted thousands of related videos, but as a result of checking the Washington Post, there were still close to 20 videos on Facebook.  




Andy made it into a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) to acquire the copyright of the video where his daughter died.



NFT uses blockchain technology to give digital content a unique recognition value, and it is attracting attention as a new digital asset because it can make images, pictures, and music into non-replicable content. 



Andy expects that if he obtains the video copyright through NFT, he will be entitled to sue the social media company that continues to distribute the video. 



However, it is known that WDBJ, which owns the video copyright, is refusing to hand over the original video copyright to Andy. 



Kevin Latek, chief legal officer of WDBJ's parent company Gray Television, said, "This is not a video depicting a murder because there is no direct scene of the victim being shot dead." 



He added, "If the video is used inappropriately, Andy offered to provide an additional license to the social media company so that he could ask the company to remove it, but it was turned down." 



In this regard, Andy's lawyer explained, "If you do not fully own the video, you do not have the authority to forcibly request the deletion of the video from the social media company." 



Andy said, "I made the video with NFT with the feeling of grabbing straw, but I can't watch the video (the daughter was murdered)," he said. "I will continue to fight to solve the problem. 



This is a 'news pick'.
