Andy Parker has tried seemingly everything to get videos of his daughter Alison Parker's murder wiped off social media platforms, where they spread after she was fatally shot while taping a live local news segment in 2015.
He has enlisted allies to find and report the clips to Facebook and YouTube, filed complaints with federal regulators against the companies and recently launched a congressional campaign focused in part on holding social media platforms accountable. Yet despite those efforts, copies of the footage remain online, some with tens of thousands of views.
Over the years, Andy Parker has run into a consistent hurdle: He doesn't own copyright of the footage, which can serve as an effective tool to force companies to remove infringing material.
Late last year, he devised a plan to get around that roadblock: He created an NFT, or non-fungible token, of the video.
"This is the Hail Mary," Parker said, an "act of desperation." Here's why:
The footage, which originally aired on CBS affiliate WDBJ, is owned by parent company Gray Television. The company has denied Parker's requests for joint copyright ownership, instead granting him a usage license aimed at letting him work with a nonprofit to get the videos taken down.

If memory serves me, this poor woman was murdered live on air by a bitter, gay, ex-colleague. The LBG-alphabet soup mafia were sure silent about that.
It’s still a gif online.
A bunch of people thought it was fake.
The killer was one of Obama’s sons. A big time democrat. /spit
Yep. Killed her, the cameraman, then himself.
Andy Parker is a communist scum and his entire platform is based on destroying the 2nd Amendment.
Seems to me Gray Television are a bunch of jackasses that need to be public Pariah to me...
The Streisand Effect.
The more you draw attention to it, the more it will searched for.
well I certainly cannot find the video online

She and a white man were murdered by a black racist nut case. He also shot and wounded a different white woman at the scene. Then he got in his car and drove to northern Virginia, wrecked and killed himself, but not before sending a racist manifesto the state police or a law enforcement agency.
That racist manifesto has never been made public. The democrat media are not interested in what motivates black racist killers.
if i can still see it for free, how is it of any value?
Racist black nut job ends a couple of swamp promoters, off himself, and rocks the world of an old commie. This is supposed to bother me how?
I’ll ask. What is an NFT?
A digital asset that can be owned and sold/traded. Some of this is downright bizarre. For example, the Economist took a picture of one of its magazine covers and sold it as an NFT and got paid beaucoup bucks for it.

Thx
“if i can still see it for free, how is it of any value?”

In theory he is supposed to own it legally, i.e. others can be sued for having it, showing it, hosting it, etc. without him licensing it to them.
Essentially the Beanie Babies of this decade.
Something that people are paying a lot of money for and it is essentially worthless.
But you can at least give a Beanie Baby to a small child and they will play with it.
Not sure what you would do with this.
Granted the murder was disgusting but it is real. And, like it or not, it is part of history.
so it can never be published?
