Seth Green’s Stolen ‘Bored Ape’ Muddles NFT Legal Ownership
Blockchain Technology Practice Group Co-Chair Jeremy S. Goldman is quoted in the article, “Seth Green’s Stolen ‘Bored Ape’ Muddles NFT Legal Ownership” published by Bloomberg Law. The article details the theft of actor Seth Green’s “Bored Ape” non-fungible token which sparked a debate around copyright and ownership of the popular digital assets, Bored Ape Yacht Club and their licensing structure. Jeremy is quoted saying, “That’s what was kind of amazing about the Bored Ape Yacht Club is they gave these very valuable assets. They gave the community the rights to go and make stuff and to license it for various purposes, wherever they wanted.”
Jeremy says posing a hypothetical, “Let’s say it’s not even stolen, Seth sells the ape to somebody else, what happens to that sublicense? The Yuga Labs license is silent as to what happens in that situation. He adds, “There’s kind of no way to say that when Seth sells that or it gets stolen from him, does the next person take it subject to whatever licenses had been entered before.”

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."
