The same thing that prevents you from minting another deed that says you own the same piece of land as someone else.

Not true. Someone could take an image that I've created, stick it on a server, create an NFT with a URL pointing at it, then sell it. Likewise, others, including me, could then create an NFT with a URL that points at that piece of data. The original creator (me in this situation) wouldn't have created the 'original' NFT.

NFTs don't solve counterfeiting when anybody can create a 'counterfeit' at any time.

Right, just like how you can make a deed that says you own 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

never claimed it did, only that NFTs can potentially provide a better way to assign/transfer copyrights than the current system of paper contracts.

A centralized authority and hundreds of years of legal tradition to resolve property disputes?

I was thinking of more "the courts". That's not in line with the crypto-anarchist narrative people like to think must be associated with NFTs, but I think having NFTs replace the complicated system we use to assign ownership today (eg. title searches/insurance) is a pretty attainable goal that doesn't require replacing the entire government with blockchain.
