Finally getting around to reading @JoshFairfield's important law review article on NFTs. Crypto folks instinctively recoil against the legal system, but Josh shows how treating NFTs as personal property under the law is critical to the decentralizing Web 3.0 vision.
I am very excited about my recent paper Tokenized: The Law of Non-Fungible Tokens and Unique Digital Property. The paper is forthcoming in the @IndianaLJ. Check it out here:

And also, I sent @JoshFairfield’s paper around to members of @UNIDROITorg digital assets and private law working group and ULC committee, so we have the issue on the radar for sure.

2. If you agree like I do with @JoshFairfield’s position that NFTs are goods subject UCC Article 2 then the platform is likely a merchant and may give an implied warranty of merchantability with a sale (although a sophisticated platform should try to waive this implied warranty).
