except that originality (creativity) has a different meaning in copyright law to the everyday notion of originality. Copyright law is used to protect unfair competition in Australia, "originality" includes the skill and labour used to create a work. This interpretation of "originality" dates back to a case in 1900 (Walter v Lane). I personally don't like the use of copyright to police unfair competition, but that's just how copyright works (in Australia at least).
