“Liberty” isn’t a right. What is the word that you would use to describe the specific right to have your possible wishes be enforced as a matter of law?
I’m fascinated to learn that rights (which are universal) include the right to stop anyone from doing anything I don’t like.
Edit:
Wait what
> Samuel Beckett dictated the set design for his plays to every last detail. Because of long copyright, you still can’t perform your own version of “En attendant Godot” today. I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing. But I have to respect Beckett’s obsessive creative vision and that the law doesn’t let me (or Disney) make our own versions of Godot yet.
You believe that your inability to perform Godot extends from a moral right? I am assuming you wouldn’t bring up moral rights and then immediately point out that you’re actually talking about your untested interpretation of a law that you don’t actually find to be just.

- hnfong 3y agoIf we're talking about law the discussion is meaningless unless and until the jurisdiction is explicitly stated. Moral rights are dealt with differently in different jurisdictions.
