Cryptoland defends itself | Finance times
Oh dear oh dear. Just when they thought they could have come away from tearing some pictures from the Internet to make a cartoon about a fake crypto paradise island that some people seem to believe that one day they could actually exist, and some nfts for millions of dollars on the back 'value of strings and 1S and 0S, the video gets into the wrong hands and the people. Mocking and calling them fraudsters, and before they know their video has become viral and ended up on the screens of us friendly people here at FT Alphaville.
The full advertising video has now been removed from the official YouTube channel from Cryptoland, but don't worry, you can still see it here.
Well, as you may be able to imagine, the team behind Cryptoland was not too happy about the reception of his fantastic video and questioned some of the things we said. We have changed our original article to reflect your objections. If you are interested, the two corrections we have made, loud as follows: First, Connie is only a caricature coin that also founded Cryptoland (Duh, makes you totally sense), not the local coin of Cryptoland, as we wrote. Secondly, when someone on Twitter asked how high the age of consent was for Cryptoland, and his account replied: "Mental maturity should be more than enough!;)" Well, that was not related to the age of sexual maturity, but, um, general consent, (again, you!), So we removed the word "sexual".
To be fair because they are not native English speakers, we would be happy to give you the advantage of doubt in this case. As this anonymous Twitter account emphasizes, even Cryptoland has borders.
please not wrong @cryptoland s words. It is not about promoting pedophilia or other ugly topics. It is simply about good old-fashioned ponzi systems that include a fraudulent purchase of Fantasieland. You can be aspiring criminals. But they have limits. https://t.co/sy24frxyuw

But we are apparently not the only ones that the good people are annoyed in Cryptoland. Take a look at Molly White's email, the software engineer who was the first to draw attention to the video Twitter-thread was sent by Cryptoland's "legal department".

Now we don't want to make a defamation guilty of defamation, but it seems unusual to us that there are no names of people or law firms in the cancellation, or any of the usual strokes that we usually have at the end of the legal letter of lawyers. But if someone on Twitter that this may not have been sent by a real lawyer, Threatening with (our focus):
We do not imitate anyone. Send a letter from stop and pass is an absolutely legitimate tool to ask a person to set the spread of misinformation.
Damn.
We asked Cryptoland about the letter and they told us that they actually have an internal lawyer. We asked why they hadn't used their name in the cancellation and they told us:
We will react to it over time.
that is done.
We also asked why the video was removed from your YouTube channel and you told us:
because a friend kindly asked us about it.
🙃
Another problem is that some of the images used in the cartoon-the cartoon, of which Kyle Chassé in the advertising video literally says that he was a main reason for his interest in the project-apparently not created by the cryptoland geniuses themselves. One of these digital images was created by someone named Kamila Bianchi. The moving 3D picture shows what Biachi calls "Seagull Rig" that you can see here.
Now we asked Cryptoland about it and they did not deny the use of the picture. Instead, they said:
Many people worked on the video and at this point I can't remember who was responsible for this sequence. We have commissioned the creation of many of these assets and others were bought. But with a short search, I found that the rig is free for everyone. So maybe there is a misunderstanding. We will continue to examine this.
But we also contacted Bianchi and asked them about it. She told us:
My asset is free of charge for non-commercial use. I contacted them on Twitter and asked [for it] because it is clearly an advertising for your product. You immediately blocked me and I didn't hear anything from you.
indeed sounds like a big misunderstanding.
Some of the other pictures also seem to have been torn from different parts of the Internet - motherboard has made a good contribution to the whole debacle by dealing with some details that you can read here.
The decency, integrity and intelligence of the crypto verification really know no limits.
