Thanks for sharing the NFT-as-access-token example, it's far and away the strongest example of a relatable use for NFTs that I've heard, and is compelling both in its value to the issuer (as a verifiable access token) and to the buyer (for both immediate use and due to its resale of residual value after having been used).

I imagine that your friend's NFT contract stipulates he gets a cut of resales, but I'm also curious if/how your friend deals with potentially bad actors that, say, scrape the entire content then resell the token for most of what they paid for it having extracted the content it unlocks. Obviously the contract could help offset a part of that trade, but seems tricky nonetheless?

Edit: I suppose part of the premise is that there are only 500 passes and content continues to be produced, so if you want access to the current library after all passes have been used trading the pass is actually a key attribute of others gaining access to the content.
