Questions: NFTs and Digital Ownership in Art

Question 1

What is an NFT in the context of art?

• A. A type of digital file
• B. A blockchain-based certificate claiming ownership of a digital work
• C. A cryptocurrency
• D. A new art movement

Answer: (B)

NFTs use blockchain to assert ownership and authenticity of digital artworks.

Question 2

What is the relationship between an NFT and the actual digital artwork?

Model answer: The NFT is a certificate of ownership; it does not inherently prevent copying of the artwork file. Ownership and copyability are separate.

You can own an NFT of an image but that does not prevent others from viewing, sharing, or even copying the image itself.
