No, at the point of being identical, the distinction evaporates. That's my point I guess.

Imagine for instance that I register the image with a different blockchain. Do I now 'own it' too? Yes, I do, by this modern tortured logic.

There’s rights and licensing fees associated to it.

In a couple years this might be displayed in a museum somewhere.

Modern art like monochromes are still displayed to this day.

There's such fees on any copywrite material. This 'blockchain proves ownership' stuff doesn't add or subtract from that?
