I can’t help but throw this down here:
FUCKING STOP LIMITING DIGITAL ASSETS WITH LICENSES.
Digital is the only realm where you can make FREE* copies of EVERYTHING**. Why do people argue for making additional limitations of such capabilities is beyond me.
I know why companies and rich people want to create artificial scarcity even in the digital world. And I guess some poor shmucks think they can get richer, but it’s not true.
So stop with the ‘dEcEnTrAlIzEd OwNeRsHiP lOdGeR’ bullshit, and enjoy the FREE* copies of everything we have.
- Copies take space and (usually) internet traffic, so they incur costs. But those are negligible, as we use those anyway. I’m not going to elaborate on how to support the creators, and crypto won’t solve it
** Fuck DRM, avoid shit that comes with it, even Steam if possible

Licenses as NFTs could have the method youre looking for. When resold, the original creator of the license gets a small cut, usually about 5% of sale price. The vendor website gets tx fees and the seller gets 90-95% of the sale price.
Its a strong model imo.

Why would they want residuals on digital resales?
Is that a serious question?

Yes, that is a serious question. Why should they want a resale if they can just sell a new license
