Exactly. There isn't anything "exclusive" about the content referenced in an NFT. The closest analog in physical artwork would be a signed & numbered print from a limited series—there may be many other copies of the same image, but this particular one is yours. The protocols for NFTs basically dictate that the underlying image must be available to everyone so that whoever purchases the NFT will be able to access it. Usually this means publishing the content on a decentralized network like IPFS. For the particular NFT in this story, the metadata can be seen here: https://api.opensea.io/api/v1/asset/0x8943c7bac1914c9a7aba750bf2b6b09fd21037e0/348 https://api.opensea.io/api/v1/asset/0x8943c7bac1914c9a7aba75... Note that there is nothing in the metadata about a transfer of copyright or an exclusive license. The original image was shared to the world by the artist through IPFS here: ipfs://QmaeqEgbu2sEHpJ9ghur44kcvGqBc5cvRTTu3YsRzkGFSh … which you can access using your own IPFS node or through any IPFS gateway, for example ipfs.io: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmaeqEgbu2sEHpJ9ghur44kcvGqBc5cvRTTu3YsRzkGFSh https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmaeqEgbu2sEHpJ9ghur44kcvGqBc5cvRTTu3Ys...
