There needs to be a registry service that allows people to show they have a license for any digital media we purchase.
Almost like a decentralised system with non fungible tokens for licences, that you could even trade between individuals without involvement of the rights owner
The reason that's never going to happen is because it would be the cause of massive profit losses for digital companies.
Capitalism makes the rules.
Another is because for a decentralized ownership service to hold any ground it must be either backed by a (centralized) court of law or hold the full service you're buying. Otherwise what's stopping a hosting platform to remove the service you bought with your nft from their platform?
Indeed. Needs to be run by an independent non-profit organisation.
Like the government?
Not ONE government, but I'd accept something that lots of governments sign up to and share responsibility for. E.g. funding and making sure it is not giving any one country preferential treatment.
