- NFT artist Lucréce is in talks with Tezos co-founder Arthur Breitman as to why his design was copied without consent.
- Lucréce’s NFT collection is substantially more expensive and older than that of Manchester United with an average price of 21 ETH.

NFT artist Lucréce is in talks with Tezos co-founder Arthur Breitman to find out why renowned football club Manchester United’s new NFT collection features designs similar to his style and aesthetics without his consent.
Notably, the artist’s collection, which is one of Tezos’ most popular series, is substantially more expensive and older than that of Manchester United, with an average NFT price of about 21 ETH ($24,919). The Red Devils’ 7,777 NFTs, on the other hand, were each sold for around $40, quickly going out of stock.
In his recent tweet from December 28, the artist revealed that he is hoping to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with Manchester United. The similarities between Lucréce’s artwork and that of Manchester United are so striking that some online community members have questioned whether the artist was involved in the Manchester United project.
Hoewel de kunstenaar ervoor zorgde Manchester United niet ronduit te beschuldigen van het kopiëren van zijn werken, plaatste hij een afbeelding op Twitter waarin hij de twee kunstwerken vergeleek, zodat mensen hun eigen mening konden vormen.
According to the terms and conditions of the United Collection, TRILITECH PLATFORM OÜ, “the for-profit arm of the Tezos foundation,” created the NFTs. Therefore, the Tezos Foundation has granted them the authority to mint and sell Manchester United’s digital collection.
The Devils collection is the second digital collectible drop by the English football team. Each token has its own set of attributes and allows the owner to have exclusive AMAs, private competitions, and other “surprises,” as well as exclusive airdrops. This would be the next phase of a more extensive collaboration between the team and Tezos.
Later today, Lucréce gedeeld op de sociale netwerksite dat hij een reactie had gekregen van Manchester United met de bedoeling tot een regeling te komen. Hij bedankte Tezos Community en Tezos voor hun steun en legde uit dat de voetbalclub geen contact met hem had opgenomen vanwege de vakantie.
Many of his supporters expressed their appreciation for the club’s response and praised the NFT artist for handling the situation respectfully, which differs from how most people manage controversies on Twitter.
Though Lucréce has not disclosed any details about the deal, he has jokingly asked for dinner with football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Het is van cruciaal belang op te merken dat de NFT-rage de laatste tijd blijft doorsijpelen in de wereld van traditionele financiën, China kondigde zijn eerste gereguleerde NFT-handelsplaats aan gemaakt door het staatsbedrijf Chinese Technology Exchange, Art Exhibitions China en het particuliere Huban Digital Copyrights Ltd.
