After giving it some more though, and I could be wrong, but it seems NFT can function as a way to reconcile ownership of digital goods. Slowly, a lot of the things we have bought online we have lost ownership of to the point where when you buy a game, for example, you never buy the game, just the license to use it. My understanding with NFTs is that anything you buy is actually yours to do as you please.

A place where this would work well would be in gaming which has already started, the idea is that digital goods you encounter or buy are yours much like any physical good. It may give you more ownership of it to the point where you can buy and sell it. While something like this already exists in many services, the small print dictate that it is never your item to begin with, so it can be taken away from you without notice.

While its current application is limited, the potential to establish some kind of ownership over digital goods would be a nice switt kick in the ass of many companies that dwelve in digital goods.

Yep you get it. It's the use case of linking to an image that's bullshit, not the technology of NFTs itself.

World of Warcraft use to be huge. People would sell thier leveled up characters on the down low. Now maybe the same thing could happen but in a open market.
