We make distinction between humans and computers all the time. They function distinctively different. For example I can "turn off" a computer, but it would be illegal to do with a person.

More seriously and closely to the case at hand. I need a licence to copy a program into memory on the computer, I don't need that licence to do that for a human. So why should there not be a difference for the material they output.
