The way NFTs are being traded currently is a global game of musical chairs. You are basically paying for your name to be attached to a specific asset address on a distributed ledger.

However, i do see some use cases. Imagine a decentralized NFT ledger where e.g one can buy the copyrights (and rights to royalties) for digital assets like music that would then be integrated into services like Apple Music or Spotify. That would create a neat marketplace for intellectual property.
