Memories I remember in threads, 2021 by Giant Swan
NFTs are the latest rock star assets to dazzle the crypto economy. While valuations have become stratospheric, transactions still rely on the law of copyright and contract to protect the market. It isn’t always straightforward. The Copyright Society of Australia is delighted to present three of Australia’s leading experts on NFT markets to unpack the role of copyright in this new world order.
