Been having an argument in a group chat... Is selling a link copyright infringement? Suppose I mint an NFT which contains a YouTube link to an official music video. Am I infringing if I sell this NFT? I know about rulings saying that sharing links is not infringement. But if I neither upload nor host the material, then where’s the infringement?

Really a downvote? It seems legally interesting to me. If you claim that selling a publicly available link is infringing, then what if I sell access to a weekly newsletter which is just a YouTube link to my favorite song of the week?
