In both cases, it is far better to make the more restrictive case the default case since creators can always decide to give permission to open their work up to modification. It is far more difficult to do the opposite.

So I am free to think about adding new characters to an existing text, but I am not free to copy these characters down onto a physical medium?? Or does this thought regulation only occur if a modified work is made public? What then constitutes public display of a modified work??
