and who controls the database?


You're asking the wrong question...

NFTs won't work with DRM, because with DRM you need to encrypt the content and then decrypt it to view it. But you cannot put the decryption key in the NFT, because everything on the blockchain is public. If you put the decryption key with the NFT, everyone will have it.

So you will still need some kind of centralized system where you will issue the decryption keys to your viewers, and probably the easiest way to track subscriptions and keys is to use a database like MySQL.

(Btw, I do not like DRM at all)


It doesn't matter, as long as it's a legal entity and can therefore be sued for breach of contract.


Who controls the unencrypted video?


And who the fuck cares except for some crypto nerds?
