Update forthcoming...

Reading the Motion to Dismiss makes clear that the defence's argument will hinge on the intent behind "blockchain entry" in the original commit being "private key" and NOT "name". If the Judge sees through the implausibility of such a claim, or at least wants to give us a chance to explain why this twist does not make any sense then, I believe, we will have our day in court...

We are legally permitted to cross out an article on a deed and change it without having to rewrite the deed in its entirety, provided there is consensus on the amendments made. Consensus validates the signatures of the parties involved and accepts changes to the terms of the deed for the SAME untouched piece of property

Whatever surface we use to write up an amendment, whether it's the existing paper/parchment/UTXO or a new one, this is inconsequential to the property and authenticity of the deed

Individuals register names on NAMEcoin because those are its objects of desire. Like a plot of land a name is not the kind of property one can directly hold so we craft a “special coin” to act as a proxy for it. This special coin becomes a non-fungible object of its own with the Name, Value, address & TxID of the most recent name operation written onto it. As such with EVERY name_update you have a NEW special coin drawn up for the name_history irrespective of whether a NEW 0.01NMC is used or not

"Two of the judges on our three judge panel...definitely understood the issues presented, were aware of the errors made by the lower court & were looking past them. Judge Lee was very interested in the technological side of the NFT itself, & her questions to McCoy's counsel seemed more supportive of us having the right to pursue our claims in some fashion. McCoy was present in the courtroom

We believe there is approx. 50/50 chance of a reversal in our favor which is relatively high for an appeal"

"Names and Values are attached to special coins"-> When people equate ‘special coin’ with the Token in ‘NFT’ misunderstandings occur. Tokens are forever attached to art for NFTs of all other chains but for Namecoin the special coin is ONLY special in that it is no longer treated as fungible NMC. The special coin is not the object of desire to collectors of Namecoin assets: every time a name is renewed a NEW special coin is used. Since the art is unique the special coin cannot be where the art resides.

An important distinction between property & deed must be made when considering Namecoin NFTs. A UTXO, the thing that transfers ownership b/w holders of public/private key pairs, is a DEED to property but NOT property itself. The property that the Namecoin blockchain was built to cryptographically secure ownership of, provided all recurring fees have been paid to the protocol, is a unique plot of digital space known as a Name. As such, Names, along with the history of Values associated to them, are the NFT property.
