It could potentially work for DRM, in that you can have a key assigned to an identity that can later be transferred and not be dependent on a particular marketplace.

For example, you could buy a copy of whatever next year's Call of Duty game will be, and have the key added to your NFT wallet. Then you could play it on XBox, Playstation, Steam, or GOG with that single license.

Of course that will never happen because that'd be more consumer friendly than we have now.

There are a fucktonne of applications

Fully automatic rentals where your NFT is your key to access

Protection for small time content creators who want to retain control of their content.

Virtually abuse proof copyright system

Game items and characters that are not bound to the game they originate from

Automatic IP rights assignments

Frictionless software and service licensing

Literally anything a standard contract can do

Basically functioning as a digital proof of purchase.

As a digital proof of purchase that can be frictionlessly traded without the permission of the platform it was purchased from.

I.e. you don't need the site you bought the ticket's permission to trade that ticket to someone else
