I’m only buying kindle books. No hardcover for me because shipping takes ages. Paying duty tax on books that are 50% of the book’s price is crazy.
I will wait until I get instant shipment.
Is it possible to create a paywall of any shipment through lnbits for books?
We need a way to distribute content like books (not pdf, or mobi) for books online that are secured and that cannot be copied!
Just like minting each bitcoin writers like Lyn should be able to mint their books and you should be able to buy only that book and only the person with the private book should be able to open that book and read it.
If you can buy the book and then share it online in pdf or mobi writers cannot live. Their stuff will be copied.
Same with songs. Same with videos.
I should be able to create content - called a book - and only send it to you when you sent me some sats and you shouldn’t be able to copy it. I guess the double spent (or double copy) problem with books (digital content), a song, a video still needs to be solved, like Satoshi solved it for money/value transfer.
The only ways to do that are NFTs or Ordinals as far as I understand

I have to cgeck the ordinals. The NFTs I know. But the NFT will give you ownership. But everybody can still see the content.
The thing that needs to be created is that you cannot “open” the file and consume the content (consume meaning reading, listening, watching) if you do not own the private key of that wallet/ of that thing.
Something like: here is the book. But the book is encrypted. Closed. You can’t read it.
If you buy THIS book, only you can open the book. And you cannot pass that book to others to open it.
There are two aspects. You can’t pass it to others. And you cannot open it.
If you pass it, you loose it.
And finally you cannot copy it either. You cannot multiply it.
I think with bitcoin we have solved two of these problems. You can not pass it and keep it. You cannot copy it.
But everybody can still see it. Open it. The blockchain is open.
When we solve the third: opening it, reading it, listening to it we will have gone to the next level.
