> People should have control over their creations long enough to make it worth the effort. We don't actually know that it would enhance authorship. Current restrictions on copying also heavily restrict authorship -- because most authorship could have been derivative works, and those are disallowed. So it is not clear whether we're helping authorship or destroying it, and I'm betting on the latter. Also, authors have control over their works until they distribute them -- and that is enough to make money. Maybe it would make significantly less money, but that too isn't clear that it will not be enough to be worth the effort.
