so you’re saying that an NFT owner could sue someone who right click saves a jpeg by claiming copyright infringement?
I’m assuming that by now, someone would have tried that in court. possible, but all court cases regarding NFTs tend to be about fraud or stealing the NFT itself rather than going after someone who just right click save the image.
which would be such a BS trial. because they are automatically downloaded in a temp cache whenever you see it displayed in a website.
They’re saying the opposite of that. The image creator could theoretically do so for copyright infringement if they were so inclined, as they retain the rights to the image. The NFT owner owns the Token embedded in the image. The image itself it not what is being traded when NFTs are traded, the ownership rights to the token associated with the image are being traded.
so you’re saying that an NFT owner could sue someone who right click saves a jpeg by claiming copyright infringement?
No, because they don’t hold any rights towards the image. They have the rights to the token proving “ownership” of the image.
Think of it this way: many museums and galleries have art that doesn’t belong to them, but rather to private parties. These owners have documents proving they own the piece of art, but you can, at any time, go to such a museum/gallery and snap a photograph of the art. Or even buy a professional replica.

NFT is the document proving ownership.
