> The copy of a digital image is 1:1 with the original.
Not in the case of an NFT. Accompanying the image data is a cryptographically-enforced means to assign control to a user / key holder.
This control is either over a single, unique art piece or over a certain number in a limited set of duplicates of the art piece.
While the image data can be seen as non-unique, the user can be confident that the copy which they control represents ownership of a unique asset with the ability to trace provenance back to the artist.
