Eric Goldman, a professor of intellectual property law and technology at Santa Clara University, noted in the BuzzFeed News article that bona fide purchasers are often legally protected, but in the case of purchasers of stolen NFTs, the blockchain and your owner’s record could make it difficult for buyers to plead ignorance. Currently, there are still many companies interested in including NFT in their video games, despite the great drop they have been suffering in the last month.
