I'm neither new nor young - I'm just a guy that gave this thing a chance and really liked the results.

The right click save argument is boring. It's not the image that's the NFT, it's the entry on the blockchain.

I agree about the "typical" NFTs you're talking about, they are referred to as digital collectibles, and yeah they don't do it for me either, but within NFT land there are multiple eco-systems, including those that are centered around what you would traditionally perceive as art.

You are right that nothing is legally backed... but why does it need to be? The blockchain is immutable, so anyone who participates in it has no choice but to honor who the chain designates as an owner.

Also not entirely true, at least some of the platforms use licenses for the art that grant the token holders rights.
