I'd be pissed off at the artist who thinks they can create a turd and then prevent anyone from making it better. In science it's expected that your ideas will be used and tested any number of times for improvement, in music they think they've nailed it first time when all the evidence suggests they haven't.
My own analogy: copyright is to music as dogma is to religion.
