Just proves that NFT doesn't even solve the only use-case that it's intended for by the fans:

- giving artists a way for protecting their art.

On the contrary it seems...

The only thing I would be surprised with, is that anyone would actually be surprised by this.

New "fast and easy" tech solution that ignores or belittles the inconvenient details of the problem solves nothing.

Fast and easy: digitally sign raw bytes.

Slow and hard: verify that the creator of the asset is the creator of NFT (and ignoring trivial digital transforms)
