This is precisely what I'm arguing. For you, what would you say is the music? The sound file (or to get technical, the sound you produced) or the picture itself? Will you give your composition's credit to the photographer? Would a painter give credit for his painting to a tree? An author, credit to every human on the planet for interacting and providing a basis on which to create believable characters? To all those who are arguing that credit is unimportant in the world, well, good for you. But for the others, when it comes down to it, did YOU compose the piece, or did the person who made a PICTURE?

Absolutely, I was the photographer, so why mention it?
Well OBVIOUSLY I composed it, it was INSPIRED by a photograph that I MYSELF took, you lack any real solid argument here
Almost every single composer and artist I have EVER studied, almost always gave credit to someone or something (A close family member, a painting etc..) for giving them the inspiration for this piece.
now... Did the family member or painting actually WRITE or COMPOSE the piece?
NO, they were INdirectly responsible for it, the only person who is responsible for doing something is the person that does it. For example, if a girl is mad because a boy she liked pissed her off, and she goes and smacks a wall in her anger and hurts her hand, is it the boy's fault?
No it's not, she was still in control and did it herself
The same with inspiration, the inspiration is not responsible for the final creation, the creator is
