> nfts represent ownership over digital culture

But what is the point of that? If I own a physical or digital item in the non-NFT sense the benefit is that I have the thing. I can use it/look at it/listen to it/play it/whatever.

What use is owning a receipt for something that anyone can freely copy for themselves? Am I supposed to feel good that I have it and someone else doesn’t? I literally don’t understand.

The only arguments I can come up with are enforcement of copyright and supporting artists, both of which can and do happen just fine without involving any sort of blockchain.
