There have been a few notable cases where this did happen. In one case in central america a father of a murdered child got the graphic images of her death NFT’d and had his ownership recognized by a court so the local media would stop airing the images.
Some countries treat digital currencies much differently than the northwestern world. Some have integrated and regulated blockchain with their financial systems.
You’re actually making my point, if you need a court to enforce ownership the NFT didn’t do it. In this case using an NFT sounds like a publicity stunt anyway.
It’s not. Ownership is a legal term and NFTs don’t do shit legally.

But hey, at least we burned a bunch of GPU cycles so a judge can say “this is valid/invalid”.
