So if the copyright holder, for whatever reason, has withdrawn his work from publication, then you no longer feel his rights need to be respected?

When Bruce Springsteen refuses to license a song at any price to a political party he disagrees with, that party should feel free to use the song anyway, and Bruce shouldn't sue if they do?

What's the rationale?
