    sounds good to me, NFTs are demonstrably very easy to steal. Frankly I'd love to see Big Knowledge blow a bunch of bucks to do nothing but make an even more easily piratable version of what they already have

    Nothing about this is going to stop anyone from making a digital copy of an ebook.

    I don't think anyone who talks about blockchain and NFTs have any clue how they work

    this is and has always been the true "innovation" driving NFTs

    So glad I finished college before this shit could fully take root. Even then I still had to deal with stuff like Adobe Digital Editions, although I got wise to cracking w/ Calibre at the end. For anyone in school (or who wants free books!) I would recommend libgen as well as this guide.
