Like you say, others profiting off art that is not theirs has always been a risk; NFTs do not present a new risk, just a different form of an old risk. Perhaps it's a bit easier to pull off because the stupid obsession with NFTs means you don't need any physical product or to create a demand.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
