But at the end of the day, you're not reselling the art, you're reselling the NFT.

There's nothing that makes this capability unique to NFTs or crypto - you could sell a license to an artwork that has similar terms.

Yeah, you're probably right here.

This is a slight pivot in discussion but - you're right, the proper license agreement (if enforced) would give a similar effect. And there's a strong argument that NFTs, DAOs for gathering capital, etc are just serving functions similar to Patreon or Kickstarter.

But there are a lot of projects popping up and getting varying degrees of attraction in the crypto space.

Maybe crypto isn't making many new things possible - but it might be making lots of things a little easier?
