More about what happened. Tarantino planned to release seven author's non-fungible tokens based on the cult movie. Each NFT was to contain a scene from “Pulp Fiction” and other extras. However, Miramax Studios, which produced the film, sued Tarantino for copyright infringement.
The director's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, noted that much of the content inside the tokens consisted of “the uncut first handwritten scripts of “Pulp Fiction”. According to Jeremy Goldman, a lawyer at Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, a possible outcome of the case could be a decision that allows both parties to sell NFT based on their copyrights to the script, “Miramax with regard to the movie and Tarantino with regard to the screenplay.”
