NFT, NBD? An introduction to block chain,
non-fungible tokens in the entertainment
industry
Have you heard the "latest, greatest"
thing making a splash in entertainment news? NFT stands for non-fungible token,
a type of cryptographic asset linked to some unique digital product. The
underlying asset could be anything, digital art, a video, a sound recording.
Some NFTs are trading for millions of dollars; an NFT issued by digital artist
Beeple sold for $69M. NFT's use blockchain technology to record and validate
ownership and transfers. Blockchain in general, but now specifically NFT's,
offer potential new markets for the entertainment industry, but raise a host of
novel intellectual property issues.
In this CLE our panelists will
cover:
What is an NFT? How are they made, sold, and owned?
Background of
blockchain and how it works
NFTs in entertainment news
Why are they worth
money?
Legal issues including copyright,
trademark, licensing,
securities
