No, you are not granted copyrights on the image attached to the NFT in all cases I've looked at, spoken to the people behind them and they also agreed.

Doesn't mean this can't be done, but in each case I've looked at, granting of rights (and which specific rights do we even mean?) is not happening.

Further more there is no obligation for anyone to do anything with the image linked to the NFT your the holder of.

Copyright is a right defined in existing legal systems. I said the NFT defines a new type of right in a new pseudo-legal system.

And if I infringe upon these new rights, do I get pseudo-sued in this pseudo-legal system?

mind blown! We could have as many opt-in legal systems as we want! Like a ball to go with the chain.

A right isn't a legal system
