I have a family member selling a condo in the south walton beaches area where I am in the 30a area and looking at buying a replacement property in the panama city beach area not far from 30a. I decided to google whats a good buy on gross rent multiplier as I hadnt didnt that for a little while. https://www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/gross-rent-multiplier you will see many articles written such as this that show returns for a search of "gross rent multiplier whats a good buy" It will show 4-7 GRM. The worst of times in our area in 09-12 when banks were falling we still were at the high end of that range this article was written this year. It made me wonder how many people look at such articles when looking to buy and trusting their Realtors know the market better than just looking up info ... 05/05/2023

IPFS also known as InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) originally created by Protocol labs founder Juan Benet.currently working on a site http://nft.storage to allow NFTS to allow dependable storage so if someone invest in NFTS they dont have off chain dead links years down the line.They are trying at protocol to make “immutable” digital records.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System They describe it as IPFS allows users to host and receive content in a manner similar to BitTorrent. As opposed to a centrally located server, IPFS is built around a decentralized systemLots of good questions raised by people that work at protocol labs about the future of NFTS Who is running the server?

I just wrote a post on “Is the writeen word an artistic expression” leaving off with talk of NFTS and AI artoworks with an example I created so following up on that with this post.I previously wrote about fair use https://okaloosamls.wordpress.com/2023/02/07/fair-use/  so I am titling this Fair Use 2  with further talk about some of the ongoing discussion on the topic the nft world had a discussion on generative art via derivatives and transformations with fair use i.e. Beeple one of if not the best know digital artist currently. The Open AI version is in the course of going about scrapping the internet which has previously been ruled on for legal standing as its been argued in the courts for years now and found legal if your interested to learn more about scrapping take a look at this ... 04/25/2023

 I am of the opinion that the written word is an artistic expression and that is how you can copyright and protect works, with that in mind I have looked at opinions on if blogs should be able to be copyrighted much in the same manner. https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/is-your-blog-a-copyright-infringement-suit-waiting-to-happen found that to be an interesting read. The fair use I wrote about previously would apply according to the article, that parts can be used to be transformative into a new work or as reference for papers and studies. https://okaloosamls.wordpress.com/2023/02/07/fair-use/ To dig a little deeper into that thought I am of the mind that written software code should be able to be protected and copyrighted by the creator if they wish to do so. The field of programming f... 04/25/2023
