    Sounds pretty centralised to me if it can just be turned off that easily.

      Yeah, the irony is that I’m sure you could do some sort of blockchain-based DRM that didn’t need a centralized server. Does such a thing exist? Patent pending…

        It would be possible, I considered implementing such a proof of concept years ago for fun (when blockchain was not exclusively cryptocurrencies). But then I remembered I don’t like DRM so I never released anything about it.

      That’s pretty much all blockchain stuff tbh, it’s all centralized to the extreme around 1 or a few major services.
