I own it. I just copied it. It's on my computer. Mine now

Obviously that's not how ownership works.

EDIT: I'm surprised to be getting so many downvotes on this. Are people under the impression they own movies and music they download through torrents? Again, obviously there is a difference between "I have this digital content" and "I own this digital content"

I don't own the NFT, but I own everything in the NFT that matters (the picture)

Again, that's obviously not how ownership works. You can download movies and music too. Doesn't mean you own them. If your argument is "it doesn't stop piracy" I'm not disagreeing with that.

I didn't say that. You genuinely don't understand what NFTs are or how any kind of "ownership" works with them. I don't blame you for your ignorance because that's how they sell them. I blame you for passionately defending your ignorance instead of learning the actual, objective truth

Lol. I gave a counter argument that had nothing to do with NFTs that blew up your home brewed understanding of what digital ownership is and then you turn around and accuse me of ignorance?

Just because digital content is on your device doesn't mean you own it. That's the case for digital movies, music, books and so forth and has been long before NFTs were even a thing. This isn't up for debate. Until you acknowledge that there's no point in even having a conversation.
