Nothing prevents someone from making copies and selling each "unique" one.
Since it is decentralized, there is no centralized authority to take down the copies (that is, a DMCA-style take down).
The "no one can censor you" upsides of decentralization are not without downsides: you cannot censor or take down others, even in cases of copyright breach.
But will people value these knock offs the same as the one approved by the artists themselves? If I put a signed picture through a scanner would you pay for the scanned image even though you knew it was a copy? I would think it logical to assume there would at least be a big discount between the two showing there is value outside of it just being scarce, artificial or otherwise.
Socially corrosive get rich quick schemes. The harm to this individual artist may be small enough to overlook, but the incalculable harms from the lack of art that would've been otherwise produced will be with us for a while. I don't want to publish stuff for the enrichment of others, I couldn't blame anyone else for feeling the same way. (I wish i could say that better)
Can't wait for the cases of heavily invested NFT owners asserting copyright ownership because "they spent more"... Anyone betting the starving artists come out on top when those cases happen?

- giving artists a way for protecting their art.
On the contrary it seems...
The only thing I would be surprised with, is that anyone would actually be surprised by this.

Fast and easy: digitally sign raw bytes.
Slow and hard: verify that the creator of the asset is the creator of NFT (and ignoring trivial digital transforms)
