The only reasonable argument I've heard for this NFT nonsense actually goes something like this: Let's say there's an indie game developer who doesn't believe in DRM, and they sell you a game. What have you actually bought, given that you could have copied that game from anywhere? Why did you buy it?

Answering these questions, then answering them for NFTs almost makes it all makes sense. I say almost because, of course, they don't need a fucking blockchain to do any of this.
