there's nothing stopping you from minting an nft for any image afaik.

But then nobody would buy that. The value doesn't come from the image, but the combination of the image and the digital signature attached.

Cryptopunk NFTs are selling for millions of dollars. You're free to copy/paste the PNG and see if anyone would even buy that from you for $1.

I can see the legitimate of the image by looking the Ethereum wallet address, even if you have an image of Bored Apes Yacht Club stolen i can see the proof if yours is genuine by looking on the blockchain.

You have a tool that reverse searches every NFT exchange on the Blockchain for legitimacy? ;)
