Quentin Tarantino Tries for an Early Court Win in ‘Pulp Fiction’ NFT Legal Battle
Blockchain Technology Co-Chair Jeremy S. Goldman is quoted in the article, “Quentin Tarantino Tries for an Early Court Win in ‘Pulp Fiction’ NFT Legal Battle” published by The Hollywood Reporter. The article discusses Miramax’s lawsuit against Quentin Tarantino over plans to release non-fungible tokens based on the movie Pulp Fiction. In a recent motion, Tarantino argues his NFTs are based on his copyrights to the screenplay and don't infringe on Miramax's copyrights to the movie. Jeremy is quoted saying, “Both sides have their reserved rights and both sides have the ability to use NFTs to exercise those rights — Miramax with regard to the movie and Tarantino with regard to the screenplay.”
In the case, Miramax is leaning on contract language that says it owns all media rights but NFTs aren’t traditionally considered media. Jeremy says, “NFTs are not a form of distribution or media — that’s the misunderstanding by Miramax.” He adds, “They view NFTs as a medium for distribution, part of how people view content. That’s not what it is. It’s just a record of ownership.”

Law.com quoted Holly Melton was quoted in a Law.com in an article discussing the Federal Trade Commission's consideration of a petition to revive the "Click to Cancel" rule. Ms. Melton analyzed the FTC's potential next steps following the rule's invalidation by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. She noted that when Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion in September to settle allegations of deceptive Prime subscription practices, the settlement document included language indicating that any future rulemaking on subscription cancellations would supersede the agreement's provisions. Mr. Melton emphasized that this language "reads like a deliberate placeholder—future-proofing the settlement for the reappearance of click to cancel," suggesting the commission anticipates reviving the rule in some form. She advised that businesses should maintain compliance with the rule's underlying principles, stating that "for advertisers and subscription-based businesses, the path forward is clear: provide transparent disclosures, obtain affirmative consent, and make cancellation as effortless as sign-up."
