Owning an NFT is analogous to owning a receipt. You don't actually own the image and paying for one means you fell for a scam. Pointing that out is enough to piss off any NFT owners.

I actually like the idea of using them as nothing more than fancy receipts. They could be used to disintermediate creators and fans, with the right platform and technology combo.

I agree. An idea that I liked was that NFTs can be used to transfer items from one game to the next. Like a rare gun in COD can be transferred into Skyrim where it is a rare armor or something.

There is no such thing as pirating an nft because the data is public. It's freely available to download to everyone. What is valued by the market is the actual token associated with that data, which you cannot reproduce

By pirating an NFT you mean saving the image? Because the owner of an NFT doesn't always own the copyright or license.

Why would you pirate something with no intrinsic value? It'd be like stealing seawater. Piracy requires booty, NFTs have none.

Don't insult seawater, it definitely has more value than NFT

Is it even worth it to pirate NFTs, all the nft I saw has poor artistic value

And to be even more worthless, the NFTs aren’t even the image.

The NFT is not an image. The NFT is the token on the block chain. You can copy an image all you want, but thats not pirating an NFT. NFTs are inherently unpirateable.

Pretty sure this is fake. I tried to get them when this was released. It is garbage.

Technically NFT, a token is linked/owned by a wallet address. Which you cannot pirate/dublicate.

But in case of nft images, those tokens are linked to an image on ipfs through dapps, which you can download. But there is legal uncertainty about these images.

Pirate anything you want, IP doesn't exist, so you can't steal it. You can't be guilty of poaching unicorns.

i see it as a philosophical question really: is a digital copy equal to the original? I postulate that it isnt - a copy is a different object, it resides on a different computer, and occupies space on that computer's storage media.

so, if you're making a copy, it's not really "piracy" because the copy you made isnt the original. the original has value (imagined or otherwise)

But the "original" isn't an original either. They are both just computer files. Strings of bytes that a program knows how to interpret. If you think there's any special value to the specific instance of that string of bytes on your hard drive, then sorry to say but it gets destroyed every time you defrag your hard drive (because it is not that exact sequence of bytes anymore, it's a copy in a different sector of the drive)

Uh I mean where is the hassle in right clicking an image and hitting save? NFTs associated with images are just trash data people think are valuable because??? Someone told them so???
