The UCLy Faculty of Law<\/a> will held a lecture of the Professor P\u00e9ter MEZEI, on Thursday, 8th of December 2022. The topic \"Mine? Yours? Theirs? - What are the copyright implications of NFTs<\/em>?\" will be discussed on different law point of view.<\/p>

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are used by established and wannabe artists, celebrities, media corporations, movie studios, sports conglomerates and many more as a means to monetize artworks and other contents, typically in the online environment. It is widely used by cultural heritage institutions alike as a way to preserve and disseminate cultural products. Using blockchain in these ways may seem secure and may offer authenticity for both the \u201cseller\u201d and the \u201cbuyer\u201d. Is this a legally sound way of content dissemination or only an illusion? Do NFTs represent a valuable alternative for the traditional ways of content creation and dissemination? The lecture introduces the doctrinal and practical pitfalls of NFTs from the point of view of copyright law.<\/p>
