I see what you're saying, you don't license access to the content though, what's sold is the version (usually). Do you still watch shows on VHS? Should that translate to a 16k Ultrabluraymega stream? Maybe. The NFT thing is interesting. It's just pogs to me, like Gollum consumed by the precious, he can't own it but he can have his name listed as an "owner" in an online distributed database. There's still authorization involved and if it exists it can be revoked.

All said, I'm not too worried about something less than the price of a beer or a good meal. For the record I bought all of Rick and Morty over time (keep in mind this is over a span of 5+ years) and I'm not a huge media consoomer. I do value my time and don't mind compensating creators.

I had a phase where downloading was neat years ago. My compulsion to justify an entitlement need to others work has dwindled to non existence. Most of the new shows aren't interesting or are largely agenda driven, box checking, easy to translate for international audiences crap.
