Pulp Fiction NFTs
Some time ago, Quentin Tarantino decided to auction off the NFTs from his famous film Pulp Fiction, but Miramax, the film’s production company, decided to sue him for copyright infringement.
Today, however, the director has decided to continue with his plan to put the film’s NFTs up for sale on the Secret Network platform and no longer on OpenSea.
On this marketplace, the sale of the film’s cut and unedited scenes in the form of non-fungible tokens will continue.
