And how is the licence enforced? Is it recognized by the law? Can people sue those who fail to comply with it? You can do all the circular reasoning you want

And how is the licence enforced? Is it recognized by the law? Can people sue those who fail to comply with it? You can do all the circular reasoning you want but at the end of the day everything is backed by violence and coercitive power. That's why nations have army/navy , to make other countries know that what they say carries weight because they can back it up with bullets and bombs, not just words.

... yes, licenses still rely on copyright law, well spotted. Is that supposed to be surprising or a novel insight?

  How can you enforce copyright law when I right click an NFT piece of art, then print it and hang it in my home? You can't. Besides, NFT enthusiasts have the illusion that the graphic art market is big. It's not. Just think about how many people you know that have a painting in their home. And no, the IKEA type paintings do not count. I mean a genuine painting.

    > How can you enforce copyright law when I right click an NFT piece of art, then print it and hang it in my home? Yep, same as any other licensed thing. Because copyright law is still just copyright law. NFTs don't magically add universal enforcement, and aren't supposed to. > NFT enthusiasts have the illusion that the graphic art market is big. It's not. Yes, there is a lot of crazy hype and over-expectations around, and sadly getting most of the attention.
