"If an artificial label/watermark is the only criteria by which you can differentiate <unwanted version of product> from <wanted version>, by definition there's nothing wrong with the unwanted product itself"
Of course, "art" isn't one fixed standard of quality/features, and you can get "watermark-requiring parity" with average/bad/unmemorable creations but not the top percentile that's actually valued, for example.

Can you apply the same logic to, say, factory farm meat, or conflict diamonds?
