Who owns tokens and other digital assets?

There are few certain things in life. Death, taxes, the abuse/misuse of the trolley problem in AI. But one thing is also certain, digital assets are here to stay, and they will be a growing part of our daily lives. Even if you’re a crypto and metaverse sceptic such as Read more…

DALL·E goes commercial, but what about copyright?

Artificial intelligence generated art is here to stay. In recent weeks OpenAI has given wider access to its AI graphics tool called DALL·E, and that has been followed by an explosion of imaginative, wacky, baffling, bizarre, and sometimes beautiful art being shared with the wider public. The success of the Read more…

August Sander’s photographic archive in NFT copyright dispute

You wait months for an NFT case, and then two drop in the matter of days. First an English court confirmed that tokens are property (more on that when I get my hands on the decision), and now there is a fascinating copyright case taking place in Germany that could Read more…

NFTs could have a generative art copyright problem

Most of the writing about the legal issues surrounding NFTs has been rightly concentrated on two topics, what rights does the buyer acquire when purchasing a token, and the issue of copyright infringement.

The interface between NFTs and the public domain

2021 has been the year of the NFT here at Llama Towers. It seems like there’s no shortage of stories coming out of the NFT scene, so to avoid having to rename the blog to “NFT Weekly News” I haven’t been reacting to the latest occurrence with the same enthusiasm Read more…

Platform is Law: The cautionary tale of stolen NFTs

It’s been another interesting day in the wilderness that is NFT-land. While many people (myself included) have spent a good part of the legal commentary on the NFT art market, the most valuable tokens can be found in collectibles, these usually take the shape of a stock character that is Read more…

Feels Good Man! Pepe, copyright, and NFTs

In 2005 artist Matt Furie created four cartoon characters for a cartoon called Boy’s Club: Andy, Brett, Landwolf, and Pepe.
