this contradiction always confused me. either way the official company is “losing a sale” and not getting the money, right?

      Ehhh they’re technically wrong. You don’t own the media with physical formats either. There’s just nothing they can do about it if they want it out of your home.

      I believe there was a recent EU ruling that mandated that this must be allowed.

      I’m not sure of the details, however.

          Nfts, digital tokens, already exist. Their use, in the protection of copyright, is called drm. “Nfts” bring nothing new to the table of digital rights or copyright… And a whole host of stupidity.
