and you’re disregarding the rights of those creators to not want their art, music or writing to be fed into the endless churn of data for these megacorporations.
… I don’t see the authors having any rights at all once the work is publish and sold. That’s the point of SELLING the book. It’s letting people do with it what they please. That’s called “ownership”. If I want to buy every copy of your book that I can get my hands on in a store and set it on fire… You have no say in it, no matter what. I purchased the book. That’s it. If I’m literally a Nazi reading the Diary of Anne Frank, nobody gets to tell me that I’m not allowed to check the book out of the library. Your “rights” to the copyright of the book are irrelevant to my rights of ownership of the book. Or the libraries rights to loan the book out to whomever.
Also, it’s champing at the bit, not chomping.
Really don’t care about grammar nazi-ing… and tell that to my phones autocomplete.
