    Every re-sale of an NFT can have (usually has) a percentage go back to the creator. Companies can still control which items they accept or not, while letting people trade items and make the company money with every transaction… without having to lift a finger, without even having to maintain a trading platform.

      And why is that a case for decentralized proof of ownership of a digital good? As long as it is decentralized, it’s trivial to bypass the residual pay

          Friendly reminder that the contract might have badly written code and/or be written in a way to act as malware. Being forced to follow a contract like that makes no sense. See the numerous exploits possible thanks to that kind of feature
