Isn't the "copyright" meant to prevent someone else other than the creator taking advantage of the material?

- dghlsakjg 2mo agoGreatly simplified: The copyright protects distribution of the material. Once they sell it, they can't keep me from taking advantage of it, except in regards to creating additional copied for distribution. I can, for example, quote it in a critique and distribute that for profit since I have transformed the original work into a new work.
