The NFT page states:

Since multiple NFTs can be created that reference the same artwork there is n canonical guarantee of uniqueness that an NFT purchased is "authentic" and it remains unclear what "authentic" would mean regarding hyperlinks which are infinitely reproducible.```

This seems to be unaware of the paragraph immediately following, which acknowledges the source of such authenticity (by explaining the existence of NFTs which would be considered inauthentic):

Given the duplication problem above, many artists have critized NFT sales that involve plagarized versions of art whereby a pseudonymous party will "steal" or reference the work of another when deploying the smart contract allowing the third party to potentially profit off the work of another with no attribution or royalties paid to the original artist.

@miracle2k thanks for the point. Do you have any thoughts on suggested alternative and improved wording?
