now that I've thought about it for a bit longer, I think you're right.

> I should not be able to copy-paste the digital artifact

no, because then the NFT would be exactly the same as the digital artifact, and they're not. that's the point I'm trying to make.

I suppose they fact that NFTs can be traded is what's so weird about them (and why my own argument fails).

I should not be able to copy-paste the digital artifact and then create a second token.

You should be able to copy the digital asset, but the second part (creating a new token) should fail. Otherwise what’s the point?
