A copy is a copy, it shouldn’t matter what tools were used for it to be considered a copy. That tech Bros want to claim that their black box of tools absolves them of responsibility is absurd in my eyes.
The painter copying a photograph is an example from my country, where a painter was convicted for plagiarism after copying a photographer’s work.
Holy crap that’s wild. So someone was convicted for copying a photographer’s work? That’s really difficult to prove in the US. Artists influence each other all the time.
I agree that techbros copying should be paying for the rights btw.

I found an English article on it. It has the original photo and the painting, there was little point in trying to deny that it was copied :) https://hyperallergic.com/luc-tuymans-convicted-of-plagiarism-for-painting-photo-of-politician/
