I wasn't sure if you meant steamboat, but that's the cool thing about the word "otherwise", I can give you conditional answers. English is neat that way.

Anyway, like I said already copyright law isn't in my wheelhouse. Actually, I'm confused, what are you arguing exactly? That pirated copies are derived works? I don't understand what this has to do with piracy.

I am pointing out that copyright law is written to protect the wealthy and not to protect artists, which is why I won't defend it. In theory the law could be redesigned so that it did but that is not going to happen.

On a related note: can you explain why I can't patent it copyright a recipe? Is food not a creative act?
