probably a stupid question but is it worth the hassle just for a webp image unless it is to piss of a company or a person then i see a reason why

Owning an NFT is analogous to owning a receipt. You don’t actually own the image and paying for one means you fell for a scam. Pointing that out is enough to piss off any NFT owners.

I actually like the idea of using them as nothing more than fancy receipts. They could be used to disintermediate creators and fans, with the right platform and technology combo.

I agree. An idea that I liked was that NFTs can be used to transfer items from one game to the next. Like a rare gun in COD can be transferred into Skyrim where it is a rare armor or something.

There is no such thing as pirating an nft because the data is public. It’s freely available to download to everyone. What is valued by the market is the actual token associated with that data, which you cannot reproduce

By pirating an NFT you mean saving the image? Because the owner of an NFT doesn’t always own the copyright or license.

Why would you pirate something with no intrinsic value? It’d be like stealing seawater. Piracy requires booty, NFTs have none.

Don’t insult seawater, it definitely has more value than NFT

Is it even worth it to pirate NFTs, all the nft I saw has poor artistic value

And to be even more worthless, the NFTs aren’t even the image.
