Do any of tech guys no what to do about this. I have some art work out put online. I would hate for someone to make an NFT out of it. Note I know it will most likely never happen but still that is messed up.

Just last week this Furry on the youtube got his avi stolen (is the the right word) and used as an NFT.

It really says something about society when famous people can just stream other people's work and sell it in a way that fucks up the environment

Technically Pulp Fiction was HIS movie and it's a rendering of his original characters so by that logic he probably thought "fuck it, gonna do this anyway I created it first".

NFTs are cancer so idfc.

Much of Tarantino's work comes about in the form of homage - be it lifting scenarios or lines of dialogue verbatim. I'm not sure if it counts as theft since he typically credits his sources.

He should just make NFTs of Uma Thurman's feet.

Your options are basically

1) put obnoxious watermarks on everything to the point where no one would want to sell it (though this obviously makes the art itself worse)
2) notice when NFT trading sites are trading ones with your stolen art and issue takedown requests (they will not always comply)
3) pretend it's not happening

To add more context to it, the artwork itself is not being sold as a NFT. However, the artwork is being used as a marketing tool to sell NFT's, which is still scummy as all hell.
