Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.

DRM =/= fair to the consumer.
DRM as a concept seeks to limit your digital rights. Any DRM of any kind is a form of punishment to the consumer. You bought it, it should be yours to do with in perpetuity as you please.
DRM could be fair to the consumer, it just isn't in the interests of the publishers to make it so, and as a result the versions of it we have are not fair to the consumer.
DRM certainly can't be fair as long as it's illegal to circumvent.
That's why you get paid up front for your work.
We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people's work, than what individuals are doing with what they've paid for.
Or simply, if someone's profiting from from someone else's work, then worry about the rules.
Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It's not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.
