The concept of the metaverse – a virtual world where people can interact with each other and digital objects, in a highly immersive environment – is becoming more and more popular. With the rapid development of virtual reality technology, the metaverse is expected to become a new economy with its own set of legal challenges. In this course, we will explore the legal implications of the metaverse from various angles (intellectual property law, privacy law, labour law, criminal law), with a focus on specific metaverse issues (NFTs, cryptocurrencies, avatars). <\/span><\/p>\n
