Piracy: NFT art as free downloads

NFTs are digital tokens that proponents say can prove ownership of digital items – including artwork. Many have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, even though anybody can view the attached artwork. The NFT Bay purports to offer “all NFTs from Ethereum and Solana” – two cryptocurrency networks – in a whopping 17 terabyte (TB) file. Critics of NFTs point out that anybody can access, download and copy the digital artwork attached to the “token of ownership”. While the NFT Bay download contains images of NFT artwork, it does not contain any of the digital tokens that “prove ownership”. Why are the piracy websites hard to eliminate ?
