They are more easily owned by groups, transferred, packaged with others, verified with software etc.
You could think of it like the shipping container revolution but for digital assets. Sure it's possible to do these things with legacy contracts but it's far less efficient and standardized.
More easily owned by groups?! We have well established legal processes, company structure and contract law to determine who owns what, and you're to say that NFT makes this more efficient? I don't see the parallel to shipping containers at all.
Did you see that group that recently came together to buy the copy of the constitution? Took 3 days to assemble thousands of people who pooled $40M to make it happen. All their individual contributions we're accounted for and tracked.
DAOs are an order of magnitude easier to assemble and manage than traditional companies. They can buy or trade NFTs by vote done many times per day in hours. And all of the internal processes and governance can be done via software.
I don't know if NFTs solve this problem, or if there is a better solution without NFTs. But I can see a person winning buying or earning content in a game that they want to be able to authenticate. Obviously the servers of a game can authenticate that content but maybe it is possible to have content that is independently validated so that no change of ownership could prevent you from being able to claim your prize.
I don't know if that would really work and I don't know if there is a better way. But as people value digital things more and more in games I can see the idea of having a permanent version of something you achieved or bought as having an enhanced value.
How do you enforce contracts all around the world without having to hire lawyers from all jurisdictions and hope for timely legal resolution on any jurisdictions?
How is a NFT enforceable in contrast? There's no way to prove who owns what address, e-contract, etc, that doesn't just fall back onto standard established contract law.
