Except people has been stealing art to do NFTs without paying the artists from day 1?
Yeah, I don't know why people think this is somehow a new problem.
Yeah, wtf do they mean "anymore"? Did they not see a single artist having their stuff copied and put into some blockchain by grifters?
Right click. Save as.
Also note that the ERC721 standard says nothing about royalties. Royaltiew weren't designed as a "key feature"
It's not the art that you buy, it's the "original URL" that belongs to you. You buy a treasure map leading to a princess. It's your princess, that's what is says on the napkin, but everyone can fuck her.
