Re:NFT's aren't the answer to the problems of digital art by NicoJuicy on Tuesday November 09, 2021 @01:00PM (#29165004)
I'm not solely describing "counterfeit" ( again, nft's are not legally protected, so counterfeit is not applicable ).

I'm also talking about hiring a low salary graphic designer to create some simple cartoon avatars and then wash trade it into popularity because of metrics on the platform.

Or just copying of-chain images to create an NFT.

Or copy an NFT and put them on another NFT market.

Or change a pixel and put it on the same NFT bazaar ( by definition of law= code, it is unique by hash)

You can't get a real Gucci bag on NFT. The comparison is false, since i can right-click save a perfect original. There is no copyright on NFT's.

Edit: valid response below and couldn't respond. But it's not correlated to the NFT itself ( not saying you are intuiting that, just mentioning)

Not to be pedantic, but, just because you can save and distribute something does not make the legal definition of copyright disappear.
