In the majority of countries, and according to the Berne Convention, copyright is granted automatically to an original work upon its creation. If I make a graphic or write a poem (or a computer program), I automatically hold copyright protection.

There are indeed exceptions, but I doubt any of those exceptions are going to care about NFTs either.

Until at least one person tests this in court, it's safer to assume that NFTs don't give you absolutely any legal rights. And if the only thing you have is NFT, the author can sue you for copyright violation.

Thank you.
