The turbosquid comparison is fair...basically NFTs are recreating that, but without the need of turbosquid.

To your other point many NFTs already include these additional legal rights, it’s articles and forums like this where people are talking about NFTs as if they are all just digital baseball cards.

Just look at decentralized domain names as the obvious counter examples (Unstoppable Domains and/or Ethereum Name Service). You aren’t just buying an NFT for a domain name, the NFT includes the rights to the actual name. I use both companies as examples, because even if this new space they are not offering the same rights over the underlying domain and it’s incumbent on the user to understand what rights they actually get with the NFT.
