Miramax is suing director Quentin Tarantino over his plans to sell seven non-fungible tokens based on his 1994 film "Pulp Fiction." The Hollywood studio argues that Tarantino would be violating the copyrights it holds for the film.
On November 2, Tarantino announced his plans to sell the digital collectibles based on "exclusive scenes" from the film. The NFTs would contain hidden content for each owner.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, accuses Tarantino of breaching his contract, copyright and trademark infringement, and unfair competition. The complaint claims Tarantino signed an agreement on June 23, 1993, which gave Miramax the "sole and exclusive right" to all copyrights and trademarks of the film.
