this is false. the fact that you can see it means you can copy it. that's how computers work. NFT only acts as digital legal title, but it still requires government to enforce that legal title. there's no mechanism that magically makes all computers honor NFTs.
especially in this case, the NFT is stupid because the images are in public domain. there is no legal title. the NFT is simply a lootbox that gives you a copy of that public domain image that you could find elsewhere for free. there's no need for an actual NFT here and no benefit conferred by using an NFT.
Original vs Copy is irrelevant to digital copies. The blockchain showing you paid for your copy is meaningless when it comes with no further rights. It isn't a copyright or an exclusive use contract or anything else with legal meaning.
Really, the proof, in the blockchain, that you paid money for something freely available is closer to a 'proof of retardation' than anything else.
I buy all kinds of in game bullshit and I still think this is incredibly dumb. What value does an NFT have over a downloaded jpg of the same image?
Anyone can download that same jpg file.
NFT's are one of a kind digital items. They can't be downloaded and sold as a fake because of blockchain. Everyone would know it's fake.
I don't own any myself. Just answering your question.

You can download it as a picture on your computer, but it won't be the original which is what gives it value.
