Copyright versus software piracy.

Does someone have the right to complain about a copyright violation of artwork that was created with stolen software or tools?

Do they actually even own the artwork? Could (insert software company) make a case for claiming ownership? I can’t go out and steal a car, spray it with graffiti and now claim ownership of the car as my artwork. People would think I was a loon. Why is software different if at all?

Let’s say someone created an image in Manga Studio and prosecuted a band for stealing their artwork. During the court case the artist presents his original file as proof he created it but the defense asks to see his proof of ownership of Manga Studio.
