What do high-impact games like have to do with it? Roblox and Fortnite with decentralized finance?

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, who have made sparks in the virtual art world have a future?

And, again, is it possible to talk about liability for damages in the metaverse and criminal behavior?

 Will personal data be monetizable in the metaverse, and if so, how?

How do you protect your creations in the metaverse?

Will cryptocurrencies replace traditional finance?

What you will find in the book

All this and much more is explained in the text “"Metaverse Law. NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, and Privacy"” of the University Professor, and Lawyer, Fulvio Sarzana of S. Ippolito, and the researchers Marco Pierro, and Osvaldo Ivan Epicoco, published by Giappichelli, Turin.                           

This text is the first and only complete Italian publication on the metaverse and its legal implications.

200 pages packed with international case law and legislation and national examples, 300 bibliographical notes in English, German, Spanish, and French, from major international law journals.

The book traces the main events of cryptocurrencies and the evolving regulatory landscape, focusing on the recent changes affecting Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The processing of personal data in the metaverse constitutes another qualifying profile of the text.

The protection of copyright and intellectual and industrial property in the context of innovative technologies is addressed by analyzing early case law from around the world.

Avatar liability and the potential commission of crimes in the metaverse are explored in light of existing legislation.

The text then addresses the legal and technical issues of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and focuses in depth on the functioning and risks of DeFI, studying its impacts on the most innovative models of decentralized finance, from so-called lending between private individuals to liquidity pool packages.

The liability of cryptocurrency exchanges is analyzed in light of news stories that have occurred in recent years.

The study of the regulatory profiles associated with these new forms of finance has led the Authors to analyze the regulatory initiatives of the EU and Anglo-Saxon countries, as well as the more or less obstructive approaches of China.
