Can you explain to me why people buy movies or software they can get identical versions of on the other bay? Or why they go to a live concert with the band playing instead of a venue with an identical recording of it? Or why they buy a baseball card instead of printing it?

The reasons aren't singular nor quite the same but if you can answer those it might be easier to figure out why simplifications like 'i can have the same image' don't cover the whole value people derive from it.

> people here buy movies

Where on netflix ? People pay for easy access to a wide range of stuff which are in HD (personally i use primewire but eh... not HD).

> Or software they can get identical versions of on the other bay.

Maybe because they are in a compagny which doesn't wanna be liable for lawsuit. Once again personally as a individual i don't pay for software.

> why they go to a live concert with the band playing instead of a venue with an identical recording of it

Precisely because the energy of a real concert is better. Actually there's a bunch of bands which are supper popular not because they have better songs but because they give better show.

None of these reasons are applicable to NFT.

Everything that's on Netflix is on torrents and even pirate streaming sites since it's the easiest content to pirate.

Bands might have a different set live than studio versions but you can play that, and this counts 5 times more for DJs who also attract huge crowds. The extra energy and hype are more akin to the extra energy and hype and bragging rights you get from the NFT community when you have an actual NFT compared to lack of it when you just download the image.
