No, you just have a license to use it according to a license. That's very clearly "not owning".
It's something, but it's not owning.
- ceejayoz 4y agoDid you miss the first part? The original copyright owner is explicitly saying in their terms that you get ownership. You’re just restricted by contract to pass on said ownership if you sell. It’s like a house with a homeowners association. Can’t ditch the HOA by selling. Still own the house.
- knorker 4y agoThis is all legal theatre to distract from the fact that there is no ownership change. Which is what I said. You yourself said that all you get is a license, not ownership. That is not even remotely close to the legal basis under which HOAs have power, which is a lien on the house, not with you. House: You bought a house with an HOA lien. NFT: You licensed (do not own) an image. Like YOU quoted there is no ownership change at any point. These are not even remotely similar.
