If we're talking about creative work, the state doesn't really have any authority in deciding what's adequately creative. A aiff file full of random or nearly random data sounds like a plausible form for a creative work to take to me.
- mywittyname 9y agoSure they do, by virtue of creating the laws that they then adjudicate and enforce, the state has the authority to legally determine what is creative, at least in the legal sense. It's likely that your "creative work" will need to be similar to other forms of creative work in order to enjoy that status. Either that, or you need to earn a reputation within a creative community as a person how pushes the conventional boundaries. In other words, randomly generated sounds are not widely considered to be creative in the conventional sense. So, unless you become the next deadmau5, it's unlikely that a court would rule that your random noise is considered art.
