When you buy stuff on these digital stores, you agree to pay for an indefinite license to the content. So it can be pulled at any time.

Why would these stores use NFTs attached to ownership licenses when they could just reword their ToS to include ownership. They don’t want to sell ownership to begin with so they would never use NFTs either.

the discussion is about the benefits of a solution (prescriptivism) rather than the process of implementing it, and getting stakeholders to agree

it's not very insightful to say that people like money and will seek it or avoid losing it (descriptivism)

As usual, Crypto shills push these extremely complicated technical solutions to problems which have very simple economic/legal solutions. The problem here is that companies are not selling ownership. NFTs do nothing for this because companies are still not selling ownership.
