Copyright doesn't let you stop Nazis (or insert objectional set of people of your choice here) from reading your books or seeing your art if they obtain a legal copy. You can't just say "I forbid it!". Why should we create a new restriction on our freedoms to allow for that?
- freejazz 3y agoCopyright absolutely allows you to control who you sell your work to, who you license it to, and who they can sublicense it to. Copyright allows an author to control who displays, reproduces, performs, etc their works. The misunderstands I've seen about copyright here are at times shocking in how incorrect they are, but seem to be consistent with a lot of the positions taken by the posters that express these understandings. For example, someone upthread said that copyright only protects against verbatim copying!
