The difference is the generated images weren't created from work or imagination, it was stolen.

owning "imagination" or ideas, images or even melodies is a new idea for humanity. For most of our history people wouldn't even think of owning an idea and profiting from its reproduction.

If I paint a study of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, even though I painted it it’s NOT my art. Trying to sell a reproduction without acknowledgment that I’m not the original artist is forgery and fraud.

So the images in the book were intentional recreations of existing, discrete pieces of art?
