From The Dialectic of Obscenity, 35 Hamline L. Rev. 229 (2012), to ‘It’s Your Right…!’: A Legal History of the Bacardi Cocktail, 27 U. Miami Bus. L. Rev. 3 (2018), and the acclaimed SEC No-Action Letter Request, 54 Creighton L. Rev. 537 (2021), law professor and international sex symbol Brian Frye has pushed the bounds of legal thinking on expression, intellectual property ownership, and NFTs.

The Broken, Unbroken, & Unknown Promises of NFTs is a Series of non-fungible tokens featuring the most meta, dank aspects of the Frye’s legal work—unparalleled progressiveness with regard to intellectual property and a total abhorrence of the idea that attaching a jpeg to a digital ledger is protectable or worth actual money. But for those legal NFT nerds who love that sort of thing, the Promises Series undertakes to mark a time during the Wild West of NFTs and to unravel across the decades with new, assertable legal issues and claims.
