Currencies,stocks and real estate are assets.Rare paintings that cost millions of dollars can also be considered as assets.Anyway,there`s no way to stop copy-pasting,free sharing and stealing.
The Internet is a big copy-pasting community.I was trying to sell digital art like you,but i gave up.
My question is a bit more to the technical/theoretical side of things; I make a living off of digital art, so selling it isn't the issue - I'm thinking more in terms of like, theoretically I could encrypt a piece of art in the block chain and designate that as the "official" original file. The art is a product only if it is physically printed on a product now, therefore it is an asset. In the most germinal sense, I'm exploring the idea of digitally marking that asset.
