NILI, as of my writing this, zero ICOKE coins have been sold, and virtually all of the responses in this thread are unsupportive, if not directly opposed, to what you're doing.
The Bitcointalk community is probably the group within your target audience that would be most receptive... and nobody is receiving your plan very well. Most people here want to support something that legitimizes cryptocurrency and creates original value, into which they can invest and from which they have a chance to profit. They see the copyright risks involved regardless of the "art" loophole you're attempting to use, and think that despite what you say, you're attempting to leverage a well-known brand you don't own in order to earn bitcoin for yourself.
Supporters of cryptocurrency are going to steer clear of your coins.
I think that, rather than attempting to educate the cryptocurrency community about the value and necessity of this art project, you would do much better appealing to artistic communities who already understand what it means to (mis)appropriate copyrighted brands for use in art works, and simply need to learn more about bitcoins and cryptocurrency in order to support you.
You are perfectly right about trying to appeal to the art community rather then educate the crypto community. I tried to reply to every comment more out of respect for people, not so much to educate. but I used it to elaborate about the complex issues involved.
As far as selling coins, Im not expecting to have much sold for a while, but creating this coin and making it REAL is a very important part. more even so then selling. Would be nice to earn a few bitcoins' but it not my main motivation to do this, I could do much better working for dollars :-)
I really appreciate your comments and I am going to target the art community soon. But as far as the crowed here, Im sure that they will get it too after a while, and then they will buy into my coin projects. anyway, I will hang around for a while. (The truth is that I never imagine that I will go that far with this and still be interested in it)
