@gfodor can you stop them from doing it? Can you stop *anyone* from doing it? And how do you verify the author is indeed the author? For example, on the darknet it's difficult to verify if the URLs you are visiting are even the correct ones..

@gfodor it's identical. Two competing "star registries", one belongs to the author of the art, the other is Sotheby's. Or many, many more registries..
