I don't care if you want it for free. These are my words and I own them."

Not exactly, the poll was created for a number of reasons, one of which brings us to now where my thoughts on the subject have changed based on the posting the poll itself and reading some of the responses.
Also, I abandoned all notions of objective validity awhile back. I advise you to do the same.
But yes, I do feel that copyright is irrelevant and texts can never be owned by anyone.
