"From a niche artist sub-culture, NFTs surged into the mainstream, drawing major businesses and fashion houses into their own projects, particularly in crypto art, creating a multi-billion-dollar market. This book serves as an essential guide to the NFT phenomenon, exploring its broader implications for creativity and cultural access. Delving into NFTs' profound influence on copyright systems and markets, the book expertly navigates the ongoing debate, issuing a persuasive call to policymakers for a fundamental reconsideration of copyright laws in the dynamic digital landscape." Ellen Loots, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
