I would say any MOC could be considered a work of art. It is the "artist" who
puts the pieces in a certain arrangement, creating a new piece out of other
smaller pieces.

True a person's reproduction would be a forgery, but unless someone that is
actually a famous artist hand crafted the piece, and you could verify this
fact, would you really care that you owned a forgery instead of someone else's
MOC? If it is for your own use, I see no problem copying it. If you were to
sell it as your own, or tell people you designed it, then that would be wrong.
