Wanted to share this article that I helped author regarding the different types of IP licenses in connection with content-based NFTs. Tons of interesting models for how NFT buyers can get real IP rights in the underlying artwork.

It was great working with you @milesjennings on this project! Super important to help organize how artwork rights are granted in the NFT ecosystem, and hopefully these tools make it easier for NFT projects to pick the right license grants that work for them.

Our initial thoughts on the Lummis-Gillibrand legislation, which I think would be a great step forward for the industry.

All in all, a very innovative license, and its drafter(s) did a thoughtful job anticipating and dealing with some of the specific challenges that NFTs raise. 12/12
