    No, because with art, there’s still a literal piece of art.

    With NFTs, it’s just a shitty jpeg some tech bro photoshopped up in five minutes.

      With NFTs there aren’t even any art. The NFT is a receipt for the art, not the art itself. You didn’t buy the copyright for the actual art with an NFT, you bought a link to a specific copy of the art.

        I mean, there are ways to tie them together, though the point still stands that NFTs add nothing to art. Copyright works fine without an overly complicated digital receipt.
