The concept of ownership with NFTs is so flakey there’s bound to be some legal disputes in the near future. It is a bit like the guy who kept selling people the Brooklyn Bridge.

You don’t own copyright, multiple people own NFTs for the same thing, and the thing the NFT is supposed to represent (such as a tweet) could cease to exist at any point.

I guess you could devise a blockchain like scheme where used ebook licenses could be bought and sold just like regular books, and the original publisher wouldn’t be able to do any thing about it.

Of course, most of my real books are worth peanuts on the open market, and the few exceptions are “out of print”, a quaint relic of the days when physical print runs cost real money to set up.

I squeed at a physical book recently, and was really disappointed to learn that it sells for 350 dollars a copy, far in excess of its original list price of $39.
