If you compare that with working with artists you also wouldn't claim you created the result. Even when you give meticulous instructions to the artist, as many clients do. The artist still owns the art unless you have a contract and specifically buy the rights to the result off of them.

I think perhaps that's what they are trying to encapsulate with the law.
