    No, you have your digital id in a database that also has a link to a picture of the precious. There is no implied ownership of the image.

    • Okay but I own the ring, even I’m not holding it.

    • Well… No, the ring is Sauron’s for legal reasons. You own a picture of it on the shared ledger.

    • Okay, so I can expect this picture to be under my control and ownership at least?

    • Well… No, you don’t “own” own it, and it’s not the picture either, really. It’s just a number. But! The number points to a row in Opensea’s database of pictures.

    • Okay, so I have ownership and control of that picture in Opensea’s database?

    • Hahaha no, they can remove it or change it and you can’t do a thing.
