The Unique Characteristics Of Tarantino ’s “Pulp Fiction” NFTs
When The Secret Network appear that Quentin Tarantino was the aboriginal artisan they were alive with, our sister armpit Bitcoinist reacted. They bound reported on the “unique amount proposition” of the aggregation in accepted and the “Pulp Fiction” NFTs in particular.
“Tarantino’s NFT absolution will be the aboriginal of its affectionate for the blockchain. Seven different NFTs will appear to market, featuring aboriginal ‘Pulp Fiction’ handwritten scripts and absolute audio annotation from Tarantino himself.
The Secret Network is a Layer 1 aloofness blockchain created by SCRT Labs. The different amount hypothesis from The Secret Network lies in the name; the NFTs will be “secret” and alone attainable by the NFTs owner.”
Just that actuality makes the accusation endlessly interesting. Only the being that buys the NFT can see what’s inside, so Miramax has no clue about the affectionate of agreeable they’re suing for. They aloof apperceive they own the rights to the account and the alone material, but, besides the letters and the business material, they’re as in the aphotic as the blow of us about the absolute content.
On the day of the announcement, The Secret Network released a statement that quotes the administrator himself.
“I’m aflame to be presenting these absolute scenes from PULP FICTION to fans.” Tarantino says. “Secret Network and Secret NFTs accommodate a accomplished new apple of abutting admirers and artists and I’m captivated to be a allotment of that.”

Tarantino’s bound “Reserved Rights” beneath the accessible agreements are far too attenuated for him to unilaterally produce, market, and advertise the Pulp Fiction NFTs.”
Furthermore, Bart Williams, Miramax attorney, was abundant harsher in a contempo account quoted by Variety:
“This accumulation chose to recklessly, greedily, and carefully apathy the acceding that Quentin active instead of afterward the bright acknowledged and ethical access of artlessly communicating with Miramax about his proposed ideas,” Williams said. “This one-off accomplishment devalues the NFT rights to ‘Pulp Fiction,’ which Miramax intends to aerate through a strategic, absolute approach.”
