Yes. But you don’t own the art or the right to it, just the token leading to it. You literally don’t have the rights to the image so you cant copyright enforce it.
All you have is a line in the ledger stating that you own it (and who sold it to you). Whether you can enforce copyright through the courts, is very separate issue, and not NFT function.
It’s as valid as me saying because I am linking the url below, I must own it: https://google.com
NFT has no implication that the url being linked is owned in any way.
It’s just a url just like I posted in this comment. If I own it or not is irrelevant. There’s no proof of actual copyright ownership anywhere involved with NFTs and requires a legal document for copyright, which they don’t have.
NFT is a record of agreement, that one side acquired something from another. It is as powerful as agreement wrote on paper. So, it might be enforced by court, depending on situation.
most of it is AI generated so no one can copyright enforce it, lol.
Legal Eagle has a good video on it, copyright only applies to humans. There was a case where a monkey took a photo with a photographers camera and he lost the copyright case because a monkey holds no copyright.
Some NFT contracts do include image rights. You can write your own contract into the token, so an NFT can be whatever you want it to be.
I’m not defending them, it’s just wrong to say you can’t get image rights with an NFT when people are writing their own contracts into NFTs all the time.

I would pay to sit in on a court hearing where a lawyer is trying to explain blockchains, NFTs, and “smart contracts” to a 70 year old judge.

That and a NFT is not the copyright. Remember the Dune thing?
