    There needs to be a registry service that allows people to show they have a license for any digital media we purchase.

      Almost like a decentralised system with non fungible tokens for licences, that you could even trade between individuals without involvement of the rights owner

        Sounds great. Maybe we could even scam the users for even more money.

        Funnily enough this is the only legitmate use for this technology, but will never happen because capitalists will never let it.

        The reason that’s never going to happen is because it would be the cause of massive profit losses for digital companies.

        Capitalism makes the rules.

          Another is because for a decentralized ownership service to hold any ground it must be either backed by a (centralized) court of law or hold the full service you’re buying. Otherwise what’s stopping a hosting platform to remove the service you bought with your nft from their platform?
