A key feature of NFTs has completely broken / Web3 was supposed to make sure the original artist always got paid. Not so much anymore. (www.theverge.com)

Except people has been stealing art to do NFTs without paying the artists from day 1?

Yeah, I don't know why people think this is somehow a new problem.

Right click. Save as.

Also note that the ERC721 standard says nothing about royalties. Royaltiew weren't designed as a "key feature"

Yeah, wtf do they mean "anymore"? Did they not see a single artist having their stuff copied and put into some blockchain by grifters?

It's not the art that you buy, it's the "original URL" that belongs to you. You buy a treasure map leading to a princess. It's your princess, that's what is says on the napkin, but everyone can fuck her.
