I see you're new and probably young. You're mistaking "lack of creativity" for realism. Right-Click - Save image. Create an NFT, done. Work from an artist digitally is not unique and can be easily copied ( and even become more popular). Creativity? Dogs, lost cowboy, punks, pigs, hungry aliens are the typical NFT's. That's not art, they mostly sell avatars. ML models creating art => Not art and again the most technical knowledge person is getting paid. Wash-trading has become the new normal. The people who pump and dump their own "art" see attraction and as usual, the average people are getting left behind with no piece of the pie. The most popular people ( not even artists) with the biggest following online win. Nothing is legally backed. NTF's don't have copyright and you don't have a legal standing. BUT... You can cry on Twitter - https://twitter.com/RookieXBT/status/1421548360868286464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1421548360868286464%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Farticle%2Fnon-fungible-tokens-nfts-right-click-save https://twitter.com/RookieXBT/status/1421548360868286464?ref... Mostly it's a technical person that steals artwork or just hires a digital designer for a couple of hours and then creates the NFT: https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/20/22334527/nft-scams-artists-opensea-rarible-marble-cards-fraud-art https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/20/22334527/nft-scams-artist... That's realism.

I'm neither new nor young - I'm just a guy that gave this thing a chance and really liked the results. The right click save argument is boring. It's not the image that's the NFT, it's the entry on the blockchain. I agree about the "typical" NFTs you're talking about, they are referred to as digital collectibles, and yeah they don't do it for me either, but within NFT land there are multiple eco-systems, including those that are centered around what you would traditionally perceive as art. You are right that nothing is legally backed... but why does it need to be? The blockchain is immutable, so anyone who participates in it has no choice but to honor who the chain designates as an owner.

  > You are right that nothing is legally backed... Also not entirely true, at least some of the platforms use licenses for the art that grant the token holders rights.
