“Physical medium”, lol. -- nm - znufrii Apr 29, 08:06 7
- That's my point. Jax is trying to juxtaposition an NFT vs. a digital movie, song, or photograph. But how are they different? -- nm - Mop Apr 29, 08:08 6
  - No, I'm saying a physical medium is different. Owning "the original" digital medium is, essentially, worthless. - JaxSean Apr 29, 08:15 5
    - But by this reasoning, a photographer whose entire photo library is digital doesn't actually own anything at all. -- nm - Mop Apr 29, 08:19 4
      - They own the rights to their images. Unfortunately there is no ironclad way of enforcing them once they are shared. -- nm - znufrii Apr 29, 08:35 3
        
        This. Imagine going to Disney and claiming that they don't own the latest Marvel movie cause it doesn't physically exist -- (edited) - JD Apr 29, 08:37 2
        
        Meanwhile NFTs strike me as nothing more than the right to comment “First!” on the ‘original’*. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 29, 08:43 1
        
        I'm pretty sure that this is exactly it. Whether the buyer's completely understand this is another question -- nm - JD Apr 29, 08:49
