By your logic, it's OK to steal material from a
construction site if you're using it to create art.
Be accurate. By that
logic it's okay to take pictures of
material on a construction site if he's using them to create
art.
Copyright law says otherwise.
You were discussing logic, not law. Huge difference.
Well, I happen to think the law is correct and logical in this case. My
creations are my property, and I should have the same right to make a
living by selling them as a sculptor or a baker or a carpenter does.
Copying my creations without my permission denies me the right to make a
living by selling my creations, in exactly the same way that theft
deprives a maker of physical objects of that right.
