Re: Re: Devil's Advocate : If they did they might read them or give them away or lend them or borrow them. The writer had no control over this.
point : "The creator of a work should be able to decide how their work is being consumed and used."
your counterpoint :
Creators have never had this right. An author could have his or her books printed and offered for sale. People might buy them. If they did they might read them or give them away or lend them or borrow them. The writer had no control over this. Why should we suddenly make changes to the law?
My ans: TO "give them away or lend them or borrow them."
is not an issue as no $$ is exchanged , Of PUBLIC use intended.
If money is exchanged -- the book , tape , CD , Picture, Copywrited Software- is re-sold at Amazon let us say ---
then the Orgingal Artist deserves a cut.
If there is NO Public use , then there is NO issue.
If there IS public use ,, the Artist reserves the right to control it.
Because Laws are for the benefit of the Victims,, not the criminals-- (if the law has been properly constructed, which is NOT always possible , because of powerful lobbyist who advocate unjust, greedy & often"morally criminal" causes. )
Re: Devil's Advocate :"If a creator wants to distribute his work in a way that restricts the use, then that is his right, and it is not our place to strip that right from him."

Copyright exists for a reason, to enrich the elite, not to promote the progress.

It's only a legal right, it's a natural privilege. But law doesn't dictate morality.
If the law has been properly constructed, which is NOT always possible.
Because of powerful lobbyist who advocate unjust, greedy & often"morally criminal" causes -- like "stealing" copyrighted work.
