Are you referring to people who take someone else's digital art and make an NFT of it?
Because that's why you should do research and due diligence before purchasing an NFT to verify that it is being sold by the legitimate party.

Or are you referring to people who have their wallets hacked and emptied of NFTs and cryptocurrency?
Because that's why you should be very careful and not give access to your crypto wallets to anyone.

You'll notice I'm incredibly opposed to proof-of-work. Not sure why you are mentioning this to me again.

I'm sorry.

Do you realize how absolutely fucking absurd it is that you're saying "You should do the research to make sure you aren't buying stolen digital art"?

What about the people who don't give a fuck that it's stolen and just want to buy it because it's cool?

What about the people stealing the art that can do so and get away with it no problem?

What about the artists who literally need to hire lawyers if they want the rights to their artwork back or to get people to stop selling their art for profit because the system has had SO MUCH stolen art they closed their ticketing process for it?

Literally everything about it is fucking insane. There are DeviantArt users who get 12 alerts a day stating "Your shit got stolen, sorry." They should have to show PROOF OF OWNERSHIP before they can sell art online. It's completely ridiculous and the system is broken and shouldn't be allowed this way.

I'm mentioning this because "You don't have to buy it bro" responses do not help these issues, because other people are buying them and the system is busted as hell and causing more issues outside of people thinking NFTs are the dumbest shit.
