It's not like the person would have oome up with whatever without their environment. He is in a constant flow of input and draws his art from that. This goes for every kind of art so the product in the end is as well a product of the environment as by the guy who decided to fix it on the medium.

The owner has the right sure. It's given to him by another product of the environment a certain portion of people agreed upon some time ago.

It doesn't make it right or some kind of physics law. Especially not in the digital world where there is no "stealing". There is more of it after the act.
