Anything you have ever published is no longer entirely yours and the act of doing so is also a relinquishment of control. Only secrets can ever really be regarded as possessions. Archivists should not require permission to store that which has been put out into the world.
- chx 8y ago> Anything you have ever published is no longer entirely yours and the act of doing so is also a relinquishment of control. This is an incredibly bold and huge presumption which absolutely does not mesh with the Berne Convention to begin with.
- OrganicMSG 8y agoIt meshes well with reality though.
- emddudley 8y agoIt meshes perfectly fine. You don't give up all control but you do give up a lot of control. When you publish and sell a book, you no longer control who that book is later given or sold to. You retain only rights over the ability to make copies, and even then, you can't block people from making copies for personal use.
