    I don’t think it’s that easy.

    If that were true:

    • me creating a painting imitating the style of Keith Haring would be completely fine
    • a computer creating an impressionist painting not specifically modeled after one artist would be theft

    In music, things are messy as well:

    • a computer generating a 12-bar blues (a staple of blues music) is theft
    • me creating a song that sounds like Imagine Dragons could have made it is perfectly fine
