It can be "an NFT of that person". The NFT is the contract and the image, name and descriptions can be considered metadata. I think you're unnecessarily picky here: Strictly speaking, you're also not buying "a song of the Beatles", you're buying a copy/recording of an encoded piece of convoluted sinus waves or whatever.
Relevant art work: "Ceci n’est pas une pipe.", La trahison des images from René Magritte.
- kyruzic 5y agoNo the nft is not the image. That is precisely the point. If the NFT was the image how come I can download, distribute, and even sell (wether legal or not does not matter) the image?
- timdaub 5y agoYeah the NFT isn't the image. The image is metadata, read the ERC721 contract interface [1]. The NFT is the NFT. - 1: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721#specification https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721#specification
