Wait, is this suggesting you use traditional centralized services to confirm ownership of decentralized items?


From the FAQ:

> Q. Can I see the source code and run it locally?

> Yes. The source code for That's My Ape! is available here and is licensed for local, personal use.

The word "here" in that quote is a link to the source code: https://github.com/cryptogogue/thatsmyape

Theoretically, "anyone" can run thatsmyape locally, and assuming they've ran `npm install`, they don't even need internet access to do so. Not sure how realistic this is in reality - there aren't even any instructions to get set up, but if there were, then an even larger set of "anyone" could run it.

That said, this is of course a joke. Also from their FAQ:

> Q. Is any of this for real?

> No. Good lord. If you want to protect your digital rights, hire a lawyer. If it wasn't immediately clear that this is a work of satire, we've got some NFTs to sell you.


Isn't that the whole point of the satire? Anyone can make duplicates of any NFT on the blockchain so you still need a central authority to say which is the real million dollar jpg and which is a copy, even though it's on a blockchain.


All copies of a jpg can be identical?
