Epic, the maker of the popular Fortnite game, is seeking to show that executives at the Alphabet Inc. unit were eager to discourage the proliferation of third-party app stores that would cut into Google Play’s operating profit.
If your data is on a public blockchain, why wouldn’t I just wait for someone else to give me your password to it? Then I don’t have to pay you, do I?
And why do you think that sacrificing your dignity for a dollar or two will stop the giant corporations from simply consuming your data the normal way, or simply sharing it amongst themselves?
One of the dumbest things I’ve seen cryptocurrency advocates do is insist you have some extra right to your data when you put it on somebody else’s computer in read-only format.
The pure data isn’t sitting on the blockchain itself, but in a ipfs or something similar. But the contracts and tokens allow you to automate it and own it/give out access to it to a certain extent.
Its a small project, but I like the idea, could be something.
You can go pretty far with that analogy. A docker container is just a glorified zip folder in a kubernetes cluster. Yes sure you get some of its functionality, but you’re missing quite a bit.

So… It’s a glorified password protected zip file inside a folder on a website?
Doesn’t sound like the contracts and tokens are necessary.
