I expect it is very much the entire point to copy the human intellect producing individual arts (a.k.a. patterns inherent in human-generated media) So they may be replicated by other individuals lacking the specific intellect or training to produce their own


You are reproducing the abstract content, not the work itself. If your argument was valid, summaries of books and offerings like Blinkist should be illegal as well.


When "abstract content" has sufficient cover to generate indistinguishable replicates of the original is it still abstract?

In contrast I could read Blinkist for years and it would never make me write like Hemingway.

Note: I am arguing for sport here and not from some deep resentment of reality.
