The article seems to be a lead in for promoting Blockchain and Web 3 stuff. :(

Yes, it's from 2021. A quote:

  I'm closely following the non fungible token (NFT) space at the moment

Do you mean the academic data ownership piece?

The paper linked is also worth reading:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13347-020-00404-9

It builds on the foundational concept of informational self-determination, and highlights well the various schisms involved. Therefore, I remain also a little skeptical about the NFT/blockchain/etc. solutions at a non-technical level.

Data ownership as a redistributive element is very appealing I must say

> Data ownership as a redistributive element

Of course, and especially regarding non-personal data, but with personal data you always have the fundamental issues discussed in the paper. At a technical level, for instance, you have the issues with the right to erasure, the right to correction, and some other rights; I haven't followed the blockchain space close enough to know where the state-of-the-art is.

Which is vanishingly small, no?

Not sure because there isn't much historical data on this

Also this depends on how they calculate it but would love to see a breakdown by different applications. E.g. what happens if some proprietary software uses open source elements vs fully open source software
