Recently a New York court decided an interesting case concerning the claim made by Free Holding against Digital Artist Kevin McCoy and Sotheby's about property rights of the first ever NTF "minted", first in Namecoin Blockchain and later "preserved" in Ethereum Blockchain.

This particular case reminds me of another interesting case decided in New York about Property Law in 1805 by the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the case Pierce v. Post, which is a very important case concerning the idea of property and its origins and that could help us to rethink the idea of Digital Property, Property as a Service and other related phenomena.
