I think the important difference in this case is like the difference between a human enjoying a song that they hear being performed vs a company recording a song that someone is performing and then replaying that song on demand for paying customers.

Except, it's not replaying those song exactly,

not even in their entirety. It's taking a few notes from here and there, arranges them in a way what makes sense, and effectively performing a "new" song - which isn't all that different from a human artist who is "inspired" by the works of other artists and produces a new work in the same genre.
