Copyright is "the right to copy your work."

Unless I'm missing something here, and the artist can claim copyright to the sidewalk, this is some next level bullshit.

Creating a derivative work is a form of copying.

This is a transformative work, not a derivative one. Amusingly, the people who most dislike it are bolstering its legal future with their complaints, the most strident of which I anticipate will be cited in legal briefs.

Within the scope of copyright for sculptural works, what part of the Fearless Girl sculpture would you consider a derivative work?
