You can’t pirate the art since it’s not copy protected. NFTs are not meant and I think should not be meant to be used as copy protection. It’s DRM without enforcing scarcity , since it does not prevent copying and redistribution of the artwork.

If you mean that you can just re upload the art somewhere and mint NFTs under false pretenses, I expect this to (hopefully) be solved soon.

NFTs are an authentication mechanism for provenance/authenticity but it is not meant to prevent others from looking at the art.
