I believe you greatly misunderstood what I was getting at. I only said "hugs" because I'm tired of people assuming it's all and always about money whenever anybody says anything short of stern opposition to copyright, because that leads to infectiously stupid comments about the government poking people in the eyes, etc. It's not about the hugs, or money or compensation of any kind. If it were about compensation, then under your scheme[1], I would be better off screening films that other people made. (Profiting from other people's work you seem to have no issue with.) But that's not what I want. I want to be able to share things I created, where I want to share it, with the people I want to share it with. Again, it's not about the hugs. It's about your claim of public ownership extending into my private life because I didn't adequately secure my creative work against that kind of intrusion. It's about having to treat my work like a secret if I don't want someone else's hand in it or name on it. [1] To be explicit: I presume a world in which you're allowed to own a theater you did not create yourself but where the public owns a film you did create yourself.
