    Sorry to disappoint ya, but the thing that gets stored on the blockchain isn’t the image itself but usually just a link to the image, sometimes with a hash of the image.

    You’re not storing the image itself on the blockchain, meaning if the link goes down your NFT is useless.

    Additionally, you cannot report someone for using your NFT unless you get a registered copyright for it, and the use of your NFT must not fall under fair use. Considering that there’s so many different variants of the same NFT in most cases, it’d be barely possible to register a copyright as you’d immediately strike all the other variants AND there is a chance the distributor already has copyright on the work.

    (ofc, I’m not a lawyer, check local legislation.)

      You can’t file for copyright registration for something you didn’t create unless the creator explicitly signed over copyright ownership rights to you (and most NFTs do not)
