If I paint a painting, and later on someone cuts in in quarters and
sells them to four people, did I really paint four paintings?

Your question is very philisophical, which means that not only do I
not have a clear answer to it, but there may not be a "clear" answer
to it, only vague answers and clear effects of the situation.  For
example, if it went to court, it may not matter whether it's now one
work or two, they may decide one way or another without resolving that
actual issue.
