You make a license that ties rights to the NFT, and use the legal system. E.g. a license that says "whoever holds this NFT gets the right to display the artwork it's for", if you want to sort-of match the sale of a traditional artwork.

In other words, its a digital certificate of ownership/rights that has no enforcement mechanism and still requires a contract, a lawyer, a court, and a society that enforces rights laws to run.

NFTs are actually speculation scams being run on the uninformed using buzzwords like blockchain and crypto while themselves being worthless. A digital certificate of authenticity for an infinitely reproducible good which still requires major cost and legal intervention to enforce.

A highly corrupt speculation scam using buzzwords about blockchain.

But which legal system?

I’m almost tempted to setup-shop ‘stealing’ NFTs and displaying them in a gallery, I imagine if I set everything up off shore to the US that I will risk pretty little

Anyone does DMCA etc even apply here? Even if it does, I can just host in a country that ignores it…

Just as you can with anything else copyrighted. Why would that be any different? NFTs just are a different way of tracking who has them, noting more.
