For me it is much easier to play music from my PC than having to change CDs all the time. But the thing is: when I buy a music file, I get a file without anything. Selling it on is hard since I have no way to really prove I own a license to the file or anything ((you don't own music, video, etc; just a license to listen / watch). Maybe the receipt could help but it is easy to fake. Now, if I had some kind of unique and traceable digital token attached to the file that would indicate that I own some form of license, I could sell it on. And that is the void that NFTs are filling. --- End quote --- This is vastly overcomplicating things by replacing simple, solved solutions with novel 'technology' for technology's sake alone. Buy a CD, rip it to your PC, retain the CD as your proof of ownership. Or, sell the CD if you like. --- End quote --- Why would I buy a CD? Nowadays I buy specific songs from websites that sell music. I can download them directly onto my computer ready to play. It is way more convenient than ordering a CD and getting rid of the songs I don't like. Last time I bought a CD must be 15 years ago. But that is besides the point I want to make. --- Quote ---But reselling your audio or video files isn't really a big issue in real life, is it? --- End quote --- There are enough cheap ways to get music / video nowadays that there hardly is a second hand market. But if there was, then NFTs would make it easier to prove ownership. That is the point! |

Does that mean its value has gone from "essentially worthless" to "completely worthless"? |
