You have! Then just don't publish/share/release it. Take it physically to your grave.
Once you publish it, I also have the "natural ability" to record it. Copyright limits my ability to record/reuse what I technically can by what is allowed. Copyright, and other IP rights have been sold as to give the original creators some head start which would make investing in such works more easy, in the end leading to a more rich commons for everyone.
- tptacek 5y agoYour argument across multiple comments doesn't cohere. You mention "good copyright" upthread, but here have somehow derived an innate right to record and reproduce anything you technically can, which is an argument that relitigates the entire premise of copyright, which is to artificially restrict that innate right in order to incentivize people to author new works.
- cies 5y ago> You mention "good copyright" That means short copyright, just enough to increase innovation. > but here have somehow derived an innate right to record and reproduce anything you technically can No, that's not a right, that just a technical ability. Copyright outlaw that ability. > to artificially restrict that innate right in order to incentivize people to author new works. Exactly that is what all IP law does imho.
