> I've been helping a friend to create a combination of Netflix and DVDs. We package the movie licenses into NFTs (MovieKeys) so when the user signs in with their wallet they can stream all the movies in they own.

How do you plan to deal with piracy? I can't see many rights-holders going for a system which doesn't allow them to revoke keys.

There is where the Netflix side of the equation comes in. You can sell or gift your MovieKey like a DVD but at the end of the day its a license to stream on our platform.

All content is DRM protected and we'll ban your account from the platform if you pirate or clone your keys ad infinitum.

I'm personally not a fan of this solution but the technology is just not here yet to do this without a centralised control system.

So I get where my friend is coming from, no artist will want to have anything to do with us if people can just pirate the stuff or clone their keys ad infinitum.
