Shark Cat Solana Meme Coin Fight Ends Without Legal Battle

After a rough start to their working relationship, the Nala Cat brand and current team behind Solana meme coin Shark Cat (SC) have come to an agreement—giving Shark Cat an official license to the IP.  Following a contentious dispute that spilled out onto Twitter, the owner of famed social media feline Nala announced last week that she has reached a deal with the team behind Shark Cat—which originally used photos of the cat to promote its token. The Shark Cat team confirmed that they made a deal...

Musician FKA Twigs Tells Congress She Created Her Own AI Deepfake

Artificial intelligence was again the hot topic of the day in Washington D.C., as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from the music industry, unions, and academia about the risks presented by generative AI. The session focused largely on AI-powered digital replicas and deepfakes—with one musician sharing her own experiences with the tech. Copyright and free speech protections were also central themes covered by a variety of guests, including Robert Kyncl, CEO of Warner Mus...

Crypto Cat Fight: Why the Legal Claws Are Out Over Solana Meme Coin Shark Cat

Here’s an extremely specific problem: Say you take a photo of your pet and put it online. Then, let’s say that photo becomes a viral meme. Eventually, that meme inspires a crypto token that rapidly generates hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in value.  Soon your pet is the hottest thing in crypto. Soon, she’s making anonymous traders you’ve never met into millionaires—but not you. Soon, depictions of your pet—both cute and less savory—are flowing in insular Discord and Telegram c...

“My bags are underwater!” the crypto bro exclaimed. His hands were in the air, while his chrome AirPods Max headphones were still, as ever, over his ears. It only took him a second to realize the irony of his phrasing. He cracked a smile. “But like, literally!”  The bro, like myself and countless others, had just arrived at Dubai International Airport on Tuesday evening, expecting a quick taxi to a luxury hotel, a few Instagram stories worth of opulence, perhaps some sort of overpriced fusion me...
