    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

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

    The NFT is not an image. The NFT is the token on the block chain. You can copy an image all you want, but thats not pirating an NFT. NFTs are inherently unpirateable.

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

      That torrent is an “art piece” the creator made to raise awareness of NFTs. This video shows an interview with the artist who created that project: https://youtu.be/i_VsgT5gfMc

      The first half of the video (and the overall reason for creating that torrent) is exaggerated and over-generalizes what NFTs are in order to claim “a problem” with them, but the second half does have a good discussion about the technology itself (educating users that scams exist in any technology, and because it’s new and different, there’s less guardrails to help users avoid scams automatically, so you need to be vigilant yourself).

    Technically NFT, a token is linked/owned by a wallet address. Which you cannot pirate/dublicate.

    But in case of nft images, those tokens are linked to an image on ipfs through dapps, which you can download. But there is legal uncertainty about these images.

    To “pirate” a digital item is to get access to something you’re not supposed to (e.g. software you’re only supposed to have if you buy a license to it). Downloading the image of an NFT is just fine as it’s public content. If you then claim that image is your creation (claim to be the artist) or profit of it (commercial use) that’s more drastic. For many NFTs the graphic attached to them isn’t the valuable part of the asset (e.g. the access it grants, or the voting power it authorizes, or how it interacts with a digital game/space is the key thing that only the owner can do); you having a copy of the thumbnail image doesn’t change the abilities the owner has (and therefore the value of the actual token).

    Uh I mean where is the hassle in right clicking an image and hitting save? NFTs associated with images are just trash data people think are valuable because??? Someone told them so???
