Book Description
"Buying art and collectibles is a passion for Americans. From the imposing sales rooms at Sotheby's to the local swap meet, we all search for objects that are interesting or will increase in value over time (hopefully, both). But few of us know where to go to learn our legal rights and remedies when buying or selling art and collectibles. For example, what if a work of art turns out to be a fake? Or a "rare" stamp or coin isn't as rare as the dealer said? When buying or selling through auction houses, can you negotiate the commission and other terms? Are insurance and other expenses related to art or collectibles tax deductible? This book answers those questions and many, many others, and gives the reader a good working knowledge of legal aspects of buying and selling art and collectibles"--

Book Description
An NFT (non-fungible "non-interchangeable") token) simply represents ownership of an asset. Before choosing an NFT marketplace, you'll first want to decide the kind of digital asset you're interested in buying, selling, or creating. Just about anything digital -- the written word, videos, video games, art, collectors' items, etc. -- can be tokenized on a blockchain. Another consideration is the type of tokens supported on a marketplace. NFT marketplaces are your path to start investing in digital assets, collectibles, and art, but there are lots of options out there. Be sure to choose one that suits your buying and storage needs based on the type of NFT you're after and the crypto you're interested in using for transactions. This is a new industry and is highly speculative. The value of digital art and collectibles works much the same as physical art and collectibles: Value is subjective and determined by factors such as uniqueness and the reputation of the artist who made it. I know what you're thinking, why would anyone pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a photo or video when they can only upload it? But it's just like real art, the copy of the photo is not the original! NFT is different because you get ownership of that piece of art when you buy it, otherwise you might be violating some copyright laws. Opensea.io is the most common online marketplace for non-fungible tokens. The report includes the following parts: 1.What is NFT?? 2. Can't just upload the digital assets instead of buying them on NFT??? 3. Some NFT marketplaces. 4. Using Opensea.io to sell and buy NFT assets. 5. Creating and minting NFT assets in OpenSea.io. 6. How to create and sell NFT on Binance NFT Marketplace. 7. How to create and sell NFT on Gate.io NFT Marketplace. 8. How to create and sell NFT on FTX.US NFT Marketplace. 9. Example on selling NFT assets on OpeanSea.io. 10. References.

Book Description
In the age of economic globalisation, do art and heritage matter? Once the domain of elitist practitioners and scholars, the governance of cultural heritage and the destiny of iconic artefacts have emerged as the new frontier of international law, making headlines and attracting the varied interests of academics and policy-makers, museum curators and collectors, human rights activists and investment lawyers and artists and economists, just to mention a few. The return of cultural artefacts to their legitimate owners, the recovery of underwater cultural heritage and the protection and promotion of artistic expressions are just some of the pressing issues addressed by this book. Contemporary intersections between art, cultural heritage and the market are complicated by a variety of ethical and legal issues, which often describe complex global relations. Should works of art be treated differently from other goods? What happens if a work of art, currently exhibited in a museum, turns out to have originally been looted? What is the relevant legal framework? What should be done with ancient shipwrecks filled with objects from former colonies? Should such objects be kept by the finders? Should they be returned to the country of origin? This book addresses these different questions while highlighting the complex interplay between legal and ethical issues in the context of cultural governance. The approach is mainly legal but interdisciplinary aspects are considered as well.
