This, i argue, has nothing to do with the amount of work, but everything to do with the simplicity of proving a copy.
A specific arrangement of words, music, or light (in the case of film) are well protected. Painting & sculpture, perhaps less so; fashion, dance, and architecture, sweet fuck all. Which all have as much if not more creative input than an arrangement.
How I think they should be handled? Same as fashion or architecture, only direct copies in the same format are protected, everything else is derivative.
