> I think that's a really compelling viewpoint. Why should society have any rights to an artistic creation? To the original, they don't. To a copy of it, made by someone else, why should the artist have any say over what other people do? If they don't want to be copied, don't put stuff out there. Just because you string a few words together, an intangible idea, it shouldn't give you some natural right to forbid other people from using those words in that same order.
