Incident Details
The apparent owner of Bored Ape #5262, of which this site header is a derivative work, contacted me on Twitter to say “I believe you are using my ape on your website without my permission. Can you please prove you own this ape as I believe there is only one looking like this and it is mine” in an event that truly transcended parody. While this would be hilarious even if it was a prank, the Twitter account who DMed me does appear to belong to the person holding the NFT on OpenSea.
