>NFT provides publicly verifiable record of ownership and limited edition-ness (aka scarcity)

Could you explain how the NFT provides the latter? Because it sounds like that's what your contract process and legal assurances ensure - those aren't happening on the blockchain, are they?

I’m not referring to ownership of the underlying copyright. I’m referring to ownership of the limited edition good! Works really well for that.

Right, I was asking about the other half of your claim: How does the NFT provide proof of the "limited edition-ness (aka scarcity)" of the good that it provides proof of ownership for? I don't see how the NFT or blockchain allows you to verify that - as far as I can tell, that must always be a matter of trusting your company, and the process it has in place before minting things, to ensure no duplicates are ever made.

A digital file isn't scarce. I can make as many copies as I want.
