SpiceDAO raised 2.66 million euros to purchase at auction, a rare book containing the script, concept art, and pre-production materials for an unreleased Dune film from Alejandro Jodorowsky. This auction estimated the value of the book to be between 25 and 35 thousand euros. They paid 2.66 million euros for it and assumed this would mean they could make animated series based on the book. Unfortunately before spending 100x the value for the book, no one told them this is in fact not how copyright works. You can’t make this up anymore. Life is a parody.
