§ 3.01 Background
Ezquire is a pen name. Behind it is a practicing sports and entertainment lawyer with 15 years of deals: talent contracts, brand partnerships, sponsorships and IP.
He has sat on the agency side of the table and the counsel side, so these posts come from watching how terms play out after everybody signs.
He is a collector too, which means he reads these terms as a holder before he reads them as a lawyer.
What gets covered
IP rights in NFTs, collectibles and creator work.
Platform and project terms, compared side by side.
Partnerships, licensing and sponsorships, explained from the inside.
§ 4.01 Contact
