A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Dead NFTs: The Evolving Landscape of the NFT Market (dappgambl.com)

TL;DR: The NFT market has drastically declined since its peak in 2021, with most NFT collections having no value. There's an oversupply of NFTs, leading to a buyer's market, and environmental concerns due to energy consumption. Top NFTs also struggle to maintain value, and the future of NFTs depends on utility and genuine value rather than speculation.

Has an NFT as proof of ownership ever actually been tested in a court of law?

Until it does, the claims the NFT shills make mean zero.

I don't think you understand: a DRM-locked digital content doesn't need, or care about, "a court of law" to work or not with a given key.

Instead of listening to the shills of GIF NFTs, centralized app/media shops, or centralized governments, try to think about what the technology actually means.
