When you buy an NFT you've paid for a hyperlink to an image that's hosted online - on some Google Drive somewhere, for instance, a host usually owned by or under the account of the NFT exchange you bought it from.

That URL is included as part of the "digital receipt" that proves your "ownership" and since the receipt exists in "the blockchain" it is indelible; so for instance if you buy an NFT of an image, download that image to your computer, and re-upload it with your own or a different host, the "receipt" doesn't cover the re-hosted image - as far as the blockchain is concerned it's not the original NFT anymore, it's just a random copy, and you can no longer prove it's the NFT that you "own".

Now you may be thinking, "well geez, what if the original image host goes down or the URL expires or something?" and, well, lol.

If they do not hold those rights it would most likely be the same as selling a stolen physical copy of an artwork.

It's not like this is hypothetical.

Wait a second.....there's a "Major League Quidditch"?

I've got to see what this looks like.

We were taught to not run with a spoon in our mouth, for obvious reasons, so I'm compelled to extrapolate.

DA has been like that for years. It's nothing new and why I pulled all of my work from DA years ago and refuse to ever use their service again.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

What else is DA supposed to do about it? They're already finding the NFTs for the artists, but they can't file DMCA notices for them.

 

[WolfEyes]

It's not what they are supposed to do but the fact that they don't do what they should do to begin with. Like ban the people who steal/have stolen from others instead of welcome the thief with open arms as I have seen them do more than once.

If you post an image to the web, it can be stolen.

That is why I don't post any of my work anymore. Their loss.
