No it's not. Taking a picture of the Mona Lisa is not infringement, so taking a picture of an NFT is the same.

The copyright on the Mona Lisa has expired is why.

If I as a artist produce a work, I have a copyright on said work which extends to reproductions, even photos or rendering of said work in different media. So technically I can say "Don't post this online", and no one is allowed to and I can go after sites that do.
