I remember growing up and seeing a very active “Warez” scene online, with cracks being distributed of all sorts of licensed software. Companies have since tried to make the programs “phone home” in order to check the licensec or turn them into SAAS to get revenue, but that is anathema to decentralized assets.
I haven’t looked too deeply into NFTs but it seems clear to me that:
1) NFTs are not for read access, but rather write access to a certain thing. Think Earth2 or MillionDollarHomePage or buying a domain name or some other namespace.
2) Ethereum and blockchains are entirely overkill for NFTs, because they are designed for arbitrary balances. If you want NFTs you can just have non divisible files that are collectively managed on MaidSAFE or something like that.
