At least with blockchain-based DRM, you’d be able to sell it when you’re done
Or not. The company could choose not to honor that sale.

In the situation I’m referring to, the issuer has no control over the asset once it’s been bought; it would be sold to another buyer, and the transaction could be done on any third party marketplace. In return for loss of this discretionary power, the issuer receives a cut of the secondary resale - that is baked into the token when it is created.
It’d be as close to mimicking the rights of owning a DRM-free physical copy that I know of, with the added bonus of cutting creators into the secondary market, which incentivizes them to care about long term support. I like that bit, and it is too rarely mentioned.

Why not instead imagine a future without DRM where there’s no artificial scarcity for digital goods?

If I’m in the mood to fantasize, I can do a little better than that.
