Are we talking about something else now?
We are talking about the topic you brought up - digital rights management. The thing that prevents you from using software (or, nowadays, even hardware) without a license is not some magical karma woven into the fabric of the universe. It's code that the companies put in their product. No matter how much blockchain technology improves and not matter how much popular it gets - you still need these companies to actively implement NFT based DRMs. Why would they do that? Why would they relinquish control over their product? I jokingly said earlier that it'll happen because the trend is to make everything worse, but companies that make their product worse do it to gain more control over their users and extract more money from them.
First you said it would make things worse then when I told you it has the potential to make things better you said it wouldn't happen. 🤷♂️
It can be used to make things worse, and it can be used to make things better. But they way it can be used to make things better:
You are trying to argue that the very same companies that nowadays do all sort of convoluted things to take control and ownership away from their customers are going to use the blockchain to give control and ownership to their customers. I say it is much more likely they'll use it for MTX gacha.
Also - blockchain based DRM is so easy to bypass. Just make a public wallet which only contains the key NFTs and share that wallet's credentials around.
Your conversation style is chaotic. Each comment you bring up some new argument and never acknowledge the counter points I'm making on your previous arguments. Everything you're bringing up is worth discussing but if you can't bring it all up at once or focus on one then there's no way for this to be a constructive conversation.
