How can you copyright a hash? And magnet links are even hashes of hashes ...

  Technically that is a derived work produced through an automated process. You wouldn't come up with that hash all by your lonesome, you need the content to do it.

    No, its not, because I never consume the content - it never passes a decoder. If I burn my mp3 player (with licenced music) in liquid oxygen, does the company that owns the right claim that the smoke is derived work?

    I don't know if that interpretation has ever been tested in court though. There are limits to what can be a derived work.
