My main objection was the inference that a person just puts their head on a photocopy glass and presses the button - very few acts of creation are like that. The creative process is usually an iterative feedback process, where the result affects the creator which affects the result. Even though Giggleton's inference may not have been intended this way, to me it did read as if there was no work or cost involved and that seemed very unfair.

If you really want to get down to it, there is no empirical way to determine where I end and you begin, thus individual copyrights are absurd.
