#2Great thread/teardown.
I don't know how it's not detrimental/embarrassing to Christie's reputation and legitimacy to be parading out these claims/this stuff

#3If I had paid big bucks for non-exclusive access to a public URL of a jpg, the resolution would be the least of my worries.
And not to nitpick, but Amiga 1000 could go up to 640x512i, 320x200 was not the maximum resolution.

#4"An authorized third party is auctioning an entry on a blockchain for a URL that points to an authorized copy of a scaled up version of a born-digital Warhol image."

They don’t, obviously, that’s the whole purpose.
If they did they wouldn’t bid on it. Nobody would pay a cent for “the url of a jpg of a painting”.

You're not paying for the url of a jpg of a painting. Everyone already knows the url.
You're paying for someone to put an entry in a random database with a public URL next to your name.

however, is it any more abstractly different than cryptocurrency?
