Miramax/Tarantino Suit Highlights NFT Difficulties in Mysterious Suitcase of Copyrights Rights

According to Tarantino, selling NFTs representing screenplay pages for particular scenes falls under his right to “screenplay publication,” one of the rights he reserved in his 1993 assignment to Miramax. Miramax argues that since the sale is a one-time transaction, it does not constitute publication (i.e., the distribution of copies to the public) and thus is a right belonging to Miramax, not Tarantino.
