If that's not proof enough of ownership, I dunno what would be!

That's the only method of copyrighting my DNA I ever heard of. I thought my DNA was claimed by whoever wanted it, like communist China. Still, no money unless you sell it or sue people using without paying for it.
Unfortunately, the Chinese do not exhibit a great deal of respect for copyrights - just as Microsoft, or nearly any movie distributors. I also somehow doubt my copyright claims would prevail in a Chinese court, so no luck there, either.
Which brings me back to the question of why create an MFT of my DNA, where it would be on a blockchain and therefore subject to summary and random seizure by any government or corporation that wanted it for whatever purpose...
