NFT content is 99% of the time already available free. You can think of it as one person paying the cost for everyone else to get free access. They are usually stored on ipfs or arweave so you can just follow the content id for the file you want. Beyond immediate metadata which you can access the use of the nfts are like keys to services (chatrooms, merch, club memberships) which you cant copy anyway because they are behind the private key of the owner of the nft.

So there would be very little reason to duplicate a chain for that. You can already get the free stuff and you can’t copy the rest because clubs will look at their register not yours.
