In the two years after the law took effect, the number of annual overdoses in the state rose by 61 percent, compared with a 13 percent increase nationwide

The state audit found that, during its first 15 months in operation, the treatment-referral hotline received just 119 calls, at a cost to the state of $7,000 per call.

“For reducing arrests of people of color, it’s been an overwhelming success,” says Mike Marshall, the director of Oregon Recovers.

I think NASA’s going to have a hard time getting any traction here. As the article notes, all NASA publications, photos, sound recordings, etc. are in the public domain, and print copies do not even bear a copyright statement. The quoted policy document says:

  • NASA is not approving any merchandising applications involving Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), as they are not consistent with the categories of products the Agency is approved to merchandise. Further, as stated in the NASA Media Usage Guidelines, NASA does not wish for its images to be used in connection with NFTs.

But I presume Melania’s company is not applying for a merchandising agreement—they are simply using a public domain NASA image as part of their own product. Now, if they used the NASA logo or implied that the NFT was endorsed by NASA, that would probably cross a line, but from the video in the post and the advertisement, it appears to do no such thing.

My law professors used to say, “For every wrong, there is a remedy”. I responded with my impression of the law: “For every act, there is a tort”. Now, the reply is “For every act, there is a federal felony”.
