If the NFT is the artwork, what does that make any images that the NFT points to?
If the NFT is the artwork, can the hosting providers generously hosting images that the NFT points to rent free remove them or replace them with ads without adversely affecting the NFT?
Or is it that the NFT and hosted images together form the artwork? In which case, did you buy an artwork if you only bought the NFT portion of it? Or did you buy a share in it? And is the image itself a separate artwork in its own right, even if it was included in a combined NFT/image artwork?
Personally, I'd say a NFT sale would deserve to be on the list if the NFT sale also conferred ownership over a piece of artwork. In which case, the NFT portion is just as irrelevant as a VISA transaction receipt. Keep the artwork, sell the receipt to a sucker while they are still there. Maybe get sued for fraud by someone who thought they were buying the artwork.
