> "They don't control redistribution". - They very much control it for the NFT itself. Who gives a shit? The NFT has no actual utility. > Yes, you can right-click and save an image all you want, but that doesn't mean you own the NFT. Again, the NFT itself has zero actual utility. The thing it points to is what people want to look at, listen to, read, or experience. > you can buy an oil painting from an artist, but that doesn't come with a copyright either. Same for almost all physical goods. If I have physical possession of an actual non-fungible physical good I have exclusive control over it. I can lock it away in a vault and never show it to anyone. I can hang it in my house and only let my friends see it. They can't right click on my painting and walk away with an atom-for-atom copy of it. > In that respect, this is very much an experiment in speculation, but all it takes is for a community of people to agree to honor the data on a particular blockchain and that can support a thriving economy like NFTs have for the last couple of years. If we only get enough people to participate in a shared delusion, these Geoffrey dollars will be worth a fortune!
