--- Quote from: nctnico on January 17, 2022, 09:44:31 pm ---I quit buying music & video in physical form years ago. 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.

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.

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.

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!

I wonder why/how that has happened, I'm curious ?

I reported it.

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