Depends on where you are (copyright law varies by country!). In the US courts have ruled that computers can not be creative so anything generated by a computer is by default not copyrightable. If there is enough creativity included into the work by a human operator, then the work does become copyrightable.

And for should it be, I think this is a fine situation. Don't see a need to change it.
