Any physical jurisdiction? Probably not. Digital “jurisdictions” like Twitter are starting to support displaying “verified” NFTs though: https://cointelegraph.

The next step in the chain is OpenSea, which sounds like they will enforce real world copyrights: https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/articles/4404423595667-How-can-I-report-fraudulent-content-on-OpenSea- https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/articles/4404423595667-H...
So basically Twitter is outsourcing copyright enforcement via NFTs. Which actually doesn’t sound totally useless, but could also be done without a blockchain.
Now, when many content displayers (websites, games, multiverses, etc) outsource their copyright enforcement to multiple copyright-enforcers maybe using the blockchain starts making more sense.
- littlestymaar 5y agoCopyright enforcers are centralized by nature though (if everyone can be one, then there is zero enforcement of copyright…) Blockchain only makes “sense” because it's hype. (And regarding Twitter, it's mostly because @Jack is a total crypto believer).
- tlrobinson 5y agoSure, if you only trust certain enforcers (which obviously you should) then it’s federated, not fully decentralized. I think a blockchain can still be useful in federated systems.
- littlestymaar 5y ago> I think a blockchain can still be useful in federated systems. How so? As soon as you have to trust someone, you've lost the only benefit of blockchains and using one would only give the terrible performance characteristic of those for no benefit. Each trusted enforcer having its own database is a way better architecture.
