Legal basics for blockchain/NFT in Germany [GER]

Our tour of the world of Web3 continues. This time we add a legal perspective to our technical view of NFTs by interviewing Steffen Kämper.

Steffen is not only a notary and a lawyer specializing in commercial legal protection, but his long-running private interest in NFTs also makes him the perfect tour guide for introducing tech enthusiasts like ourselves and our audience to the (NFT) legal framework, especially the one in Germany.

The idea for this episode came about at the kitchen table, so to speak. Steffen is Marcus' brother-in-law and there have always been interesting discussions with Steffen that we wanted to make available to a wider audience.

So, what are some important basic legal concepts in the NFT context? What about NFTs and consumer protection? What do I do in the case of incorrectly programmed smart contracts? In the future, will NFT- and crypto-related disputes settled before non-public arbitration courts only? And why are we being led to Lichtenstein at the end of our tour? Listen in!
