       | At this point, why are we even taking NFTs seriously? Like the
       | whole premise of NFT was like people can copy paste stuff as they
       | like from and to the blockchain. The only thing that you leave
       | with is bragging rights because you have something on the
       | blockchain registered as yours. Platforms should not be using
       | NFTs as a way to validate things.

         | The point of NFTs is money.

         | If people could have figured out how to attach a price to
         | replicable data and convince people that it was worth buying
         | ten years ago, they would have cherished it as much as they are
         | now. The technology and the evangelism are nothing more than
         | distractions.

       | 
       | Am I naive in thinking they could probably get courts to order
       | the NFT platform to pay the artist all proceeds of the sale of
       | their art (from their own pocket if the fraudulent seller was
       | already paid)?
       | 
       | Are the NFT platforms' owners in jurisdictions which make this
       | difficult/impossible?
