The analogy breaks down at a copied painting being hard to distinguish but a copied piece of digital art is literally impossible to distinguish, right down to its hash.
People who collect Picasso’s want the piece the artists hands truly created, that’s why copies hold no real value. By copying digital art you _are_ getting the work the artists hands created, the identical hash can prove it.

- qqii 6y agoNFT art pieces have an associated file that can be copied but the (nft token, public key) pair on the blockchain is unique, where the NFT token is created with a public key associated with the artist. Your copy of the associated file is just a copy of the file. You cannot associate another public key with the nft token. As far as we know this is the only reasonable and foolproof way to define digital ownership, digitally.
