Sure. But if I see listen to some song, and copy it, and release it, I could get sued. Even if I claim that I'm merely inspired by the original content - the court doesn't care.

You don't need to redistribute the original material, it's enough that you just copied it.

It's not the exact 100% same thing. Therefore you cannot base any rights on it.

If you still don't buy it, consider this analogy:

killing a human vs. destroying a machine

Thank god that we're not using your line of thinking here.
