> Photos for sale are identified as rightfully owned by having RAW file details published to the blockchain (actual High Res image is not stored on chain)

If it's on the block chain and everyone has a copy can't I just copy it directly from the blockchain?

Hi sharemywin, no the photo itself is not on the blockchain, only the details about the photo & timestamp. the photo served on the website is not the full high res image. That is stored off chain

sorry about that. apparently I can't read things in parentheses even when I copy them.

Maybe it's just a hash of the raw? It says the image is not itself stored on the chain.

Which gives you what? Unless you release the raw file it could be a hash of anything.
