Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have emerged as an important medium for the creation, sale and collection of art, with many major business and fashion houses creating their own NFT projects. This book investigates the eruption of NFT crypto art, and its impact on copyright law.
Chapters address topics at the intersection between AI, smart contracts, data science, copyright law, and arts administration. With snapshots of the ongoing heated debates around copyright law, the book investigates whether NFTs violate copyright and moral rights, the liability of NFTs platforms, impacts on ethical issues such as counterfeiting. The first book published on this emergent topic, this book offers comprehensive overview of opportunities and challenges raised by NFTs to copyright law and, more generally, to the regulation and economics of the creative and cultural industries.
The book is addressed to law and tech enthusiasts as well as academics, students, practitioners, and policy makers interested in the intersection between copyright rules and new forms of technology.

"From a niche artist sub-culture, NFTs surged into the mainstream, drawing major businesses and fashion houses into their own projects, particularly in crypto art, creating a multi-billion-dollar market. This book serves as an essential guide to the NFT phenomenon, exploring its broader implications for creativity and cultural access. Delving into NFTs' profound influence on copyright systems and markets, the book expertly navigates the ongoing debate, issuing a persuasive call to policymakers for a fundamental reconsideration of copyright laws in the dynamic digital landscape."
