For more on the case, June Grasso speaks to  Bloomberg intelligence litigation analyst Holly Froum.  Plus, French luxury designer Hermes filed a federal lawsuit against a digital artist who is selling a Meta-Birkin NFT. The image depicts the famous Birkin handbag covered in cartoonish fur instead of leather. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
