    Yeah I thought of that I'm just curious how copyright law interacts/protects NFTs lol

    Like the original art would be protected, but the NFT is supposedly a representation of data which wouldn't I don't think.

    Does copyright transfer with "ownership" of the NFT? If so is it separate from the original art? If not then would the original creator still hold that control over the market? What are you even buying then?

    I could imagine this going to court and a judge just stroking out trying to deal with it.

      An NFT in itself doesn't affect copyright although one could imagine a license agreement involving an NFT. That would however be completely up to what the parties involved have agreed on. At the end of the day the important thing is what was agreed, not what cryptographic fad was attached to the agreement.

      For complex matters, judges can sit back and let the lawyers put forward submissions and base their judgement on whichever of those they prefer.
