    If a museum advertises a Picasso but it is fraudulent most people would consider that a bad thing.

    I care about artists getting paid. Sure, hate collectors all you want, but getting rid of them reduces the purchases artists do get.

      Who cares?

      You don’t need NFTs to ensure artists get paid. You don’t need intellectual property laws to ensure that artists get paid. Most of the best art in history was made before intellectual property was a thing, and the artists who made that art generally were paid.

        You think most of the artists that made famous art got paid?? Plus you think people don’t care if artwork that is claimed to be authentic is actually fraudulent??

        Thanks for demonstrating you don’t have serious or informed opinions.
