My First Invest in Music NFTs

Greetings, everyone!

I don't know if it is well known that Rising Star is not only a game, but also a platform for artists to mint and trade their music as NFTs.

For a long time, I ignored this side of the platform, but during the last days I become more and more interested, especially when I learned that a fellow member of our community, Trenton Lundy (going here by the alias of @trentonlundy1), is an artists who's already selling his music on Rising Star.

As I have a premium Youtube Music account, I could listen to more creations of this artist before I decided on my first purchase: Trenton Lundy - Funktacular!

My purchase was about 0.5619 HIVE, and of course - as everything here around, this transaction was added to the chain: block #22478822

How is the purchasing experience? One click away from the items listed on the Rising Star marketplace or the alternative NFTMark, you get confirmation of the transaction on the blockchain, and the acquired NFT is listed in your collection, with a link from where you can listen a high quality version of the song, and of course the possibility to download it to your own devices:

At the moment I'm not aware if there's more utility for this NFTs, but one remark where @risingstargame may add more clarity: on terms and conditions, the authors gives give Rising Star "a non-exclusive license to make music available for streaming and download within the game and any other websites or apps we control", but looks to me there's no license at all for the owners of the NFTs.

Does my NFT comes with any rights? Do I have the right to download the song? Do I have the right to stream it on alternative platforms? Why should I be bound to the platforms controlled by Rising Star?

Isn't this against the spirit of decentralization?
