thats a completely different conversation buying from the imposter artist obviously doesnt provide patronage to the original artist. that applies to both the NFT world and any other part of commerce in the world. people arguing here are conflating three or four arguments to create a disingenuous point. the "cant have it both ways" quip stems from a false dichotomy. . you are buying a url not a picture. correct buying a url from the original artist supports the original artist. correct buying a url from the wrong artist does not support the original artist. correct there is no logical inconsistency or contradiction. advocates can claim you are buying the picture at the end of the url all the want, but unless the sales contract includes exclusive reproduction rights, that claim is incorrect and has nothing to do with patronage itself.
