Right. But with more mainstream PR. See "NBA Top Shot". The people selling NFTs talk a lot about buyers "owning" something. From the article: The logic of blockchains is once you purchase an NFT it is yours to fully control, just like when you buy books or sneakers in the real world. There are and will continue to be NFT platforms and marketplaces, but they will be constrained in what they can charge because blockchain-based ownership shifts the power back to creators and users — you can shop around and force the marketplace to earn its fees. Some don't mean it. From the TOS for Genies: Digital Goods are not purchased by you, but rather are licensed to you on a limited, personal, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, revocable basis, solely for your non-commercial use in connection with your use of the Services. You may not transfer Digital Goods to any other user of the Services or any other third party, except where the Services expressly authorize you do to so. For example, you may transfer your Digital Goods to other users of the Services through Genies’ Digital Goods re-sale marketplace on the Services. You acknowledge and agree that Genies may manage, control, change, or eliminate Digital Goods at any time. ... Digital Goods and Virtual Currency do not constitute personal property, nor do they have any value outside of the Services. Virtual Currency cannot be sold, traded, transferred, or exchanged for cash. "Revocable". Genie giveth, and Genie taketh away. Plus, you can only transfer ownership through them, not via some blockchain they don't control. Art Blocks is very funny. This is an Art Block.[1] Current price, US$223. It's not unique; there are 2000 copies for sale. There's a lot of sucker bait for sale in this space. [1] https://www.artblocks.io/token/16000118 https://www.artblocks.io/token/16000118

  There are 2000 iterations of that particular Art Block project, each of which is unique. There are not 2000 copies of that iteration.
