If you buy this, you are scammed.

    But you’re not the owner, though, you don’t get a copyright, the image is hosted externally, anything besides the receipt is just a contract which needs to be enforced via regular legal means and can be broken.

      Copyright is something legal, so as long as the law is out of date, there’s no support for digital copyright transfers. But ownership and authenticity is certainly transferable.

      Anything better than the “you’ll own nothing and enjoy it” state of the internet today. It’d be amazing to own my movies and be able to transfer them to anyone I want.

        Think of an NFT as a membership card to a club. You can sell your card to someone else, but there’s nothing stopping the club from changing their system and no longer accepting old cards, not letting someone in despite having a card, or going out of business.

        And you’ve never been able to own movies or video games, unless you made them yourself. NFT’s don’t change that either, you may own a receipt for access to something, but the club analogy still counts.
