     @guizzy @lain @a1batross @solidsanek that seems kinda just as bad to me as the current situation, trying to force scarcity into somewhere it doesn't naturally existor maybe worse

     @lain @a1batross @solidsanek There's a wonderful opportunity with NFTs to restore personal property rights when it comes to digital goods. If people knew to demand it, game licenses and in-game items could recover the ability to be traded and resold like physical media could. Sure, some games are making it a center of their promise (Gods Unchained for instances) but they mostly market themselves to crypto/blockchain obsessed nerds first.

     @guizzy @a1batross @lain @solidsanek like solving the "air is free" problem by forcing people to buy an air-breathing license that permits n breaths

     @guizzy @a1batross @lain @solidsanek yeh, it's something that could "further legitimise" the idea of IP for people

     @shmibs @a1batross @lain @solidsanek That's a feature of copyright and intellectual property, not of NFTs as such. NFTs don't affect free digital goods any differently than copyright and IP already does. Everything digital that's "purchased" right now is not really purchased, it's "licensed". Unless you're buying the copyright, it's never yours, it's theirs, you just rent access to it. What NFTs offer is an alternative model to the "renting" model for digital goods, one where both the seller and buyer get what they want. The buyer gets actual ownership, not just a license, but the right to sell, gift, trade what they've rightfully purchased even after the seller disappears or stops supporting it, and the seller gets protection from the product being duplicated putting them out of business. A protection they already get in the current model; only the companies get what they want right now, as they have the better lawyers and lobbyists.

     @guizzy @a1batross @lain @solidsanek mean is that, with an idea or chunk of information or "digital good", it's impossible to sell anything but access licenses, so adding another veneer just confuses that even more and prevents actual change
