According to Foresight News, law professor Brian Frye and Jonathan Mann, the creator of 'Song a Day Mann,' have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its five commissioners. The lawsuit was submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana on Monday. The plaintiffs' attorneys accuse the SEC of launching a campaign to assert jurisdiction over the sale of digital artworks, using examples such as Taylor Swift concert tickets and referencing two recent NFT-related cases by the agency. Both companies involved in these cases are preparing NFT projects and are seeking a court ruling on the matter. The SEC has declined to comment on the lawsuit. Ashley Ebersole, Chief Legal Officer at 0x Labs and a former SEC attorney, noted that previous SEC enforcement actions regarding NFTs have been settled, leaving courts with limited opportunities to determine whether NFTs qualify as securities.
