Also the uniqueness of the idea matters. Everyone has to be the first at something, and a lot of things that we view as ordinary or "not original" today were first invented somewhere by someone. If there had been hundreds of Hand From Above type works, I'm sure no one would have minded the Space150 piece. As it is, there was only one, and the concept was appropriated by an agency which then proceeded to give it much wider visibility than the original creator had the ability to and make money off it. There's something that seems wrong there, since society teaches us that people who come up with ideas in the first place should get credit for them.
