What NFTs have accomplished by creating scarcity in *links to art* instead of *art* is a disassociation of value from the art itself - at some point it doesn’t even matter if the art is still on the server, because the value is being exchanged for the link. This is probably bad! — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s say I rip off your painting and sell it as an NFT. I haven’t actually sold your painting, I’ve sold a URL on a blockchain pointing to a jpeg that might not be there. So is that copyright infringement? Gonna take cash and a court case to find out, sorry artists — PolitiTweet.org

Copyright law, for its many many flaws, is an attempt to value *art itself*. Anyone can copy anything now, but *legally* only the copyright owner of a work can make copies, and that requires the apparatus of the state to function. When you make computers do it, it looks like DRM. — PolitiTweet.org
