Say I printed this comment. Put it in a frame and auctioned it as art.

Would you be the artist for creating the comment? Or would I be the artist for using the comment and framing it in a creative way?

There's a HN story from the past year or two about someone literally printing out other people's Twitter and/or Facebook pages and selling the prints in galleries for $thousands. I don't know the correct search terms to find it but it's out there.

EDIT: Richard Prince[0] I guess I've been on HN longer than I thought.

When Andy Warhol printed soup cans and put the prints in galleries, were the Campbell's logo designers the artists, or was Warhol?

"Derivative work" is the phrase to resolve any conundrums here.
