This would become the ultimate streaming service. All titles, from everywhere, available on one service. Add in a revenue sharing model for copyright holders and you've got the ultimate entertainment platform.

It seems very common sense. I don't even know what the argument would be against this measure as it's completely optional for users and neutralizes censorship and anti-trust concerns. Seems like a win-win for both consumers and th

Stores sell commodity items all the time. There are a large range of products that are identical in price amongst all of the stores today. This even exists to an extent today with video games with Steam allowing you to purchase gift copies

1. ERC-721 tokens don't replace DRM. Effectively you would buy the book and use any DRM scheme you want as the DRM would verify that you owned the ERC-721 before allowing the media to be used. 2. True, there is always smart contract ri

It kind of depends on what financial products you are talking about right? You can, today, do high margin longs and shorts (dYdX), collatoralized loans (Maker, Compound), buy and sell derivatives (Synthetix), and buy into funds run by fund
