So, one could argue, your house is already 'presented to the world' so I should have it. Or your child is already 'presented to the world' so I should be able to take that too (for the common good, of course). Ridiculous. I should be entitled to fair pay (and exclusivity) for the fair span of the work's copyright. Again, what exactly constitutes a 'fair span' is arguably debatable, the the reason it exists---so that a creator can have the opportunity to profit from their own works before it eventually does enter into the public domain---is a fair one.
